Unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis of genes and experiments of 9 normal genital skin fibroblast lines (penile foreskin) and 5 AIS genital skin fibroblast lines (labia majora). Only transcripts whose log2 red / green ratio differed from the mean expression level across all ex-periments by at least 1.1 in at least three experiments are displayed (620 cDNAs). The dendro-gram of the array experiments reflects the similarity of the samples with respect to their gene expression patterns. F = female external genitalia, M = normal male external genitalia, NORM = normal male control, AIS4 = AIS with predominantly female phenotype (slight enlargement of the clitoris), CAIS = complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. Increasing red intensity cor-responds to increased gene expression levels compared to the mean log2 red/green ratio for each gene; increasing green intensity corresponds to decreased gene expression levels. The scale ranges from -8 to +8 in log2 space. (Complete dataset for Figure 1.).

Hierarchical cluster analysis of genes and experiments based on cDNAs identified as being significantly different in expression between normal genital skin fibroblasts and genital skin fibroblasts of female patients with AIS. The left panel shows an overview of 472 of the total of 487 significant transcripts that showed measurable expression across at least 80% of 24 ex-periments. The color code of the dendrogram and the sample names represent the origin of the fibroblast strains. The scale ranges from -4 to +4 in log2 space. (Complete dataset for Figure 2.)

Hierarchical cluster analysis of genes and experiments with different DHT treatment regimens. Shown are the 2862 transcripts that distinguish between normal genital skin fibroblasts and gonadal fibroblasts from 46, XY female AIS patients, and between proliferating and confluent fibroblasts. The color code in the dendrogram depicts the origin of the fibroblast cultures. The gray and white bars on top of the cluster indicate the proliferation state of the samples. On the right, the regions of the cluster diagram are indicated which differentiate between normal and AIS-derived fibroblasts, and proliferating and confluent cells, respectively. No differences in transcript levels could be discerned between DHT treated and control cells in either normal foreskin fibroblasts or fibroblasts from AIS affected 46, XY females. The scale ranges from -8 to +8 in log2 space. (Complete dataset for Figure 3.)
