Androgen receptor splice variants might be associated with castration resistance in prostate cancer as well as resistance to hormonal therapies including abiraterone and enzalutamide. New data demonstrate that splice variants can form dimers with each other as well as with the full-length androgen receptor, and that dimerization is required for androgen-independent transcriptional activation of target genes.
