Int J Mol Sci. 2020 Nov 9;21(21):8403. doi: 10.3390/ijms21218403. PMID: 33182400This case report describes a patient with clinically diagnosed partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS). However, no mutation in the androgen receptor gene was identified. Instead, whole genome sequencing revealed a heterozygous point mutation inherited from the mother in the FKBP4 gene. This gene i...

To read the full abstract: Eur J Endocrinol. 2018 Apr;178(4):377-388[Comments on 7.7 and 7.8] Familial self-limited delayed puberty is highly heritable and has a clear genetic basis as described in the review written by Sasha Howard. Recent studies suggest that the genetic basis of self-limited delayed puberty is likely to be highly heteroge...
