title: Coregulator-related diseases.
abstract: Coregulators are a group of proteins, which modulate the nuclear receptor transactivation function. In this study, a new "coregulator disease" concept was proposed from observations of a case of androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) and cases involving Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome and X-linked dementia and hypothyroidism syndrome. In addition, coregulators are thought to be closely associated with the pathogenesis of several diseases such as hormone-dependent cancers and leukemia. Based on these observations, the clinical disorders associated with some coregulator abnormalities were reviewed.
