Indels are highly abundant in human genomes and have contributed massively to genome evolution. However, the role of indels and their underlined mechanisms of mutagenesis in Mendelian disorders still needs to be appreciated. To explore the contribution of indels in a monogenic disorder, we analyzed all indels already described in the AR gene, including three novel indels found in our cohort. We analyzed the indel distribution through the AR coding region, compared wit...
