Functional Impact of Novel Androgen Receptor Mutations on the Clinical Manifestation of Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.

Androgens are responsible for the development and maintenance of male sex characteristics. Dysfunctions in androgen action due to mutations in the androgen receptor gene (AR) can lead to androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) that can be classified as mild (MAIS), partial (PAIS), or complete (CAIS). We have analyzed functional effects of p.
