Genes affected

AR (HGNC:644): (androgen receptor) The androgen receptor gene is more than 90 kb long and codes for a protein that has 3 major functional domains: the N-terminal domain, DNA-binding domain, and androgen-binding domain. The protein functions as a steroid-hormone activated transcription factor. Upon binding the hormone ligand, the receptor dissociates from accessory proteins, translocates into the nucleus, dimerizes, and then stimulates transcription of androgen responsive genes. This gene contains 2 polymorphic trinucleotide repeat segments that encode polyglutamine and polyglycine tracts in the N-terminal transactivation domain of its protein. Expansion of the polyglutamine tract from the normal 9-34 repeats to the pathogenic 38-62 repeats causes spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA, also known as Kennedy's disease). Mutations in this gene are also associated with complete androgen insensitivity (CAIS). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

The AR c.2667C>T (p.Ser889=) synonymous variant results in the substitution of cytosine at nucleotide position 2667 with thymine. Across a selection of the available literature, the c.2667C>T variant has been identified in a hemizygous state in at least four individuals with androgen insensitivity syndrome, characterized by atypical genitalia, hypospadias, low levels of luteinizing and follicle stimulating hormone, and cryptorchidism (PMID: 11397856, 28743543, 33505695, 35561789). The variant segregated in three affected males and unaffected carrier mothers in a multi-generational family (PMID: 35561789). This variant is not found in version 2.1.1 or version 3.1.2 of the Genome Aggregation Database. Functional studies demonstrated that the c.2667C>T variant produces an aberrant splicing variant that leads to partial skipping of exon 8 and a shortened 3'-untranslated region and the androgen-induced transcriptional activity is inhibited (PMID: 11397856). Based on the available evidence, the c.2667C>T (p.Ser889=) variant is classified as pathogenic for androgen insensitivity syndrome. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects codon 889 of the AR mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the AR protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PMID: 1158706, 11397856, 20150575). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9850). Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice site, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 11397856). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
