OBJECTIVE
The role of androgen receptor coactivators in testicular development and cancer formation is unclear. p44/Mep50 was identified as an androgen receptor coactivator that functions in a complex with protein arginine methyltransferase 5. We studied the expression of p44 and protein arginine
BACKGROUND
Most testicular germ cell tumors arise from intratubular germ cell neoplasia unclassified (IGCNU, also referred to as carcinoma in situ), which is thought to originate from a transformed primordial germ cell (PGC)/gonocyte, the fetal germ cell. Analyses of the molecular profile of IGCNU
OBJECTIVE
To compare the distribution of peptide hormones in presumably normal human testicular tissues and specimens exhibiting any of five pathologies.
METHODS
Biopsies from patients having testicular malfunctions were prepared as sections and specifically immunohistochemically stained for
We report on a case of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome with bilateral testicular tumors and a point mutation in the androgen receptor gene. A bilateral gonadecotmy was performed and both of the resected tumors were histologically diagnosed as pure seminoma. Direct sequencing of amplified
