The Androgen Receptor in Breast Cancer
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Breast cancer (BC) is a hormone-related tumor. Despite the progress in BC therapy, this disease still remains the most common cancer amongst women around the world. This is likely due to the amazing BC heterogeneity. Accumulating evidence suggests a role for androgen signaling in BC.

Molecular Defects of the Androgen Receptor
Recent Progress in Hormone Research, 1999 Defects of the androgen receptor cause a wide spectrum of abnormalities of phenotypic male development, ranging from individuals with mild defects of virilization to those with complete female phenotypes. In parallel with this phenotypic spectrum, a large number of different mutations have been identified that alter the synthesis or functional activity
