Function
Steroid hormone receptors are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues (PubMed:19022849). Transcription factor activity is modulated by bound coactivator and corepressor proteins like ZBTB7A that recruits NCOR1 and NCOR2 to the androgen response elements/ARE on target genes, negatively regulating androgen receptor signaling and androgen-induced cell proliferation (PubMed:20812024).

HI Disease:
  • androgen insensitivity syndrome Monarch
HI Evidence:
  • PUBMED: 22334387
    Gottlieb et al. (2012) provide an update on the mutational spectrum of AR based on the current AR variant database. This database includes over 500 AR variants in androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) patients, including 54 premature stop codons and 21 partial gene deletions.
  • PUBMED: 27994190
    Saranya et al. (2016) identified three novel AR mutations, including two LOF variants p.Q68X and p D266fs295ter, associated with androgen insensitivity syndrome in sex-reversed XY female patients.
  • PUBMED: 30742848
    Liu et al. (2019) identified a de novo LOF variant (c.192_193insTAGCAG, p.Gln65*) in a patient with severe forms of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.
HI Evidence Comments:
Loss of function variants in the AR gene have been associated with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). A different condition, spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy of Kennedy, is caused by CAG repeat expansion in the AR gene.
NOTE:

The loss-of-function and triplosensitivity ratings for genes on the X chromosome are made in the context of a male genome to account for the effects of hemizygous duplications or nullizygous deletions. In contrast, disruption of some genes on the X chromosome causes male lethality and the ratings of dosage sensitivity instead take into account the phenotype in female individuals. Factors that may affect the severity of phenotypes associated with X-linked disorders include the presence of variable copies of the X chromosome (i.e. 47,XXY or 45,X) and skewed X-inactivation in females.
