Mutations in the human androgen receptor (AR) gene cause androgen insensitivity and prostate cancer. Studying these AR gene mutations reveals their impact on male development and fertility.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • The human androgen receptor (AR) is crucial for male sexual development.
  • AR gene mutations are linked to androgen insensitivity and prostate cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the molecular basis of androgen receptor dysfunction in clinical cases.
  • To analyze AR mutations in prostate cancer cell lines.

Main Methods:

  • PCR amplification, subcloning, and sequencing of AR gene exons.
  • Transient expression of mutant AR in COS and HeLa cells.
  • Analysis of protein expression, ligand binding, and transcriptional activation.

Main Results:

  • Identified a splice donor site mutation causing exon 4 deletion in complete androgen insensitivity.

  • Found two distinct codon 686 mutations affecting androgen binding affinity.
  • Discovered a codon 868 mutation altering steroid binding specificity in LNCaP cells.

    • Conclusions:

    • AR gene mutations significantly impact phenotype, fertility, and disease development.
    • Understanding AR mutations is key to diagnosing and treating AR-related disorders.
