PARTIAL ANDROGEN INSENSITIVITY SYNDROME- A CASE REPORT

Disorders of androgen receptor function represent the most common definable cause of the undervirilized male. Androgen insensitivity syndrome could be considered as a 46XY Disorder of sexual development that causes resistance to androgen action. These patients characteristically have a 46 XY karyotype and testes and present with a spectrum of phenotypic abnormalities that vary from complete external feminization(syndrome of complete androgen insensitivity), to ambiguous genitalia(partial androgen insensitivity ) to the phenotypically infertile male. The clinical presentations may vary according to the severity of the disorder but the pathophysiology is similar. Here we are reporting a case of partial androgen insensitivity syndrome.
