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 c.20_138dup119 pathogenic variant in the AR gene causes a frameshift starting with codon Alanine 47, changes this amino acid to a Tryptophan residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 27 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Ala47TrpfsX27. This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Although this pathogenic variant has not been previously reported to our knowledge, this result is consistent with the diagnosis of androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) in this patient. -
