Answer question 26

The androgen receptor (AR) binds to and signals in response to the steroid
hormone testosterone. The more AR present in skin cells, the more hair loss
occurs in response to testosterone exposure. AR levels are normally kept low
by an RNA binding protein that recognizes the AR MRNA and recruits RNase.
An individual carries a mutation in the AR gene that blocks binding of this
RNA binding protein. This individual suffers extensive hair loss. If this
individual wanted a treatment for themselves, which therapies would be
appropriate?
O RTV therapy in somatic cells
More than one of the therapies listed would work
AAV therapy in the somatic cells line
CRISPR therapy in the somatic cells
RTV therapy in the germ line
