This study suggests that the residues Val-889 and Arg-752 in the androgen receptor steroid binding domain are crucial for the intermolecular interaction necessary for receptor dimerization and function.
research Clinical, Hormonal, Behavioral, and Genetic Characteristics of Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome in a Brazilian Cohort: Five Novel Mutations in the Androgen Receptor Gene
This study investigated genetic and phenotypic characteristics of androgen insensitivity syndrome in individuals with a 46,XY karyotype, documenting a range from complete to partial insensitivity.
research Different phenotypes in a family with androgen insensitivity caused by the same M780I point mutation in the androgen receptor gene.
This study reports that the same androgen receptor gene mutation within a family can lead to both complete and partial androgen insensitivity syndromes, suggesting that genetic defects alone may not predict clinical phenotype.
research The Molecular Basis of Androgen Insensitivity
This article reviews androgen insensitivity syndrome and highlights the factors contributing to phenotypic diversity in 46,XY patients with AR gene mutations, reporting no new clinical results.

A user proposed genetically engineering scalp stem cells to stop androgen receptors from causing hair loss. Others discussed the feasibility, existing research, and potential issues with this approach, including targeting the correct cells and unintended effects.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community How does dutasteride regrowth work?
A 25-year-old man with hair loss from bleach damage is using oral minoxidil and considering adding Dutasteride for better regrowth and prevention. He seeks advice on Dutasteride's effectiveness and potential benefits over finasteride, and is also curious about RU58841.
community Neck tension, and hair loss, I am 100 percent sure that there is a connection
The user believes neck tension and poor posture contribute to hair loss, noticing improvements with yoga and muscle relaxation. Replies suggest androgenic alopecia as the cause and recommend exercises.
community My 2 Years Progress (Hair Recovery)
A person shared their hair regrowth journey using HIMS topical treatments with finasteride, minoxidil, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and microneedling. They also discussed their transition as a transgender woman and the positive impact of HRT on hair recovery.
