An extremely rare missense mutation of the androgen receptor gene in a Vietnamese family with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.

ABSTRACT: We report a Vietnamese family with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome that included several phenotypic females who have a 46,XY karyotype with an extremely rare mutation of the androgen receptor gene. The proband was a 27-year-old phenotypic adult female referred to our department for karyotyping due to primary amenorrhea. Ultrasound examination revealed a small uterus. Chromosomal analysis showed a 46,XY karyotype. A polymerase chain reaction assay revealed the presence of the sex-determining region Y gene. Next-generation sequencing detected the NM_000044.6(AR):c.2170C>T(p.Pro274Ser) mutation, which was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. There is only one previous report of this mutation in a child with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. In the family presented in this s
