| | Androgen insensitivity syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Variants of Reifenstein syndrome occur with greater or less androgen sensitivity and correspondingly more or less genital masculinization. | | | Androgenic body hair may be sparser than unaffected relatives. | | | At puberty, many of the early physical changes in both sexes are androgenic (adult-type body odor, increased oiliness of skin and hair, acne, pubic hair, axillary hair, fine upper lip and sideburn hair). |

| | Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome Summary - Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome Information |
| | In 2001 the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons recommended that surgery "only be undertaken with considerable caution and following full multidisciplinary investigation and counseling of the parents." Other therapies include hormone treatments and psychological counseling, including family counseling, and these are often part of the treatment, with or without surgery. | | | A person with PAIS may be born with external genital structures that are not typically male or typically female, a condition called intersexuality. | | | Gene testing and genetic counseling are available for families with affected members. |

| | Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a genetic condition that affects the development of the external male genitals and reproductive organs. | | | After a few weeks in an XY foetus, without AIS, male genitals develop under the influence of male hormones (androgens). | | | partially androgen insensitive (PAIS) when the external genital appearance lies somewhere between male and female. |

| | AMA (Virtual Mentor) Clinical Case |
| | Partial androgen insensitivity, unlike complete androgen insensitivity, is an intersex condition for which no general consensus exists as to the better sex assignment. | | | We have learned that the goal of treatment should be to promote existence of an individual who is satisfied with his or her physical appearance and has a good quality of life. | | | It should be emphasized again that, even among infants with the diagnosis of partial androgen insensitivity, every child and family need to be evaluated individually. |

| | Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome |
| | Normal responsiveness to androgen after birth does not prove that it was normal before birth. | | | Normal levels of T, DHT and LH levels after birth do not prove that the level was normal during the critical period of fetal genital masculinization. | | | However, the great majority of such negative searches very probably reflect a "timing" problem; in other words, the acquisition of normal testosterone synthetic capacity or normal androgen responsiveness is delayed beyond the critical periods for normal external and/or internal male genital differentiation. |

| | Researchers have noted that their body shape does not deviate much from that of normal females but that they tend to be larger in all body measurements, although with a tendency to a slim body. | | | Due to the lack of androgen affects the girl will not suffer from acne or temporal balding, and little or no pubic hair and auxiliary body hair will develop. | | | Lacking the effect of these androgens, the external genitals develop along female rather than male lines. |

| | Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (No Uterus or Ovaries) |
| | The most likely is one called androgen insensitivity syndrome, in which the body is programmed to develop into a male, but something happens to prevent that from happening properly. | | | S. Many conditions may result in the situation you report. | | | In this condition, the gonads (the organs that would become either ovaries or testicles) form and produce high levels of the male hormone testosterone, which would normally trigger male development -- but the body cells are unable to respond to the male hormones. |
