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.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Arg787* variant introduces a premature stop codon at amino acid position 787 within exon six (of eight total exons) and is predicted to result in loss-of-function of the androgen receptor. This variant has been observed in multiple unrelated individuals with differences in sex development (DSD), including androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS, MIM #300068) (PMID: 26980296, PMID: 31499074). Loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism of AIS and other nonsense and frameshift variants in this region have been reported in affected individuals (PMID: 15724799, PMID: 30668521). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is also known as R785Ter. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg787*) in the AR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in AR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19463997). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with disorders of sex development (PMID: 1458719, 26980296). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 458364). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the AR gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.2359C>T, which results in the creation of a premature stop codon at amino acid position 787, p.Arg787*. This sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated AR protein with potentially abnormal function. This sequence change has previously been described in a patient with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) who presented with normal female genitalia, and absent müllerian derivatives (PMID: 31499074). Dong et al., 2016 also reported this sequence change in a patient with female external genitalia, no uterus, ovotestis with fallopian tube, primary amenorrhea and 46,XY karyotype (PMID: 26980296). This sequence change is absent from the large population databases (ExAC and gnomAD). These collective evidences indicate that this sequence change is pathogenic; however functional studies have not been performed to prove this conclusively. -
