title: A(870)E mutation of the androgen receptor gene in a patient with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome and Sertoli cell tumor.
abstract: In a 60-year-old woman with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) and Sertoli cell tumor, a germline mutation (A870E) in exon 8 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene could be detected. A sister of the patient was also affected by CAIS and developed a Sertoli cell tumor at age 56. The mutation has not been described so far and could be seen in a causal relationship with the development of this tumor.
