Overview

Androgen insensitivity syndrome is caused due to mutations in the X-linked androgen receptor gene. Androgen receptor (AR) gene defects inhibit the normal development of both internal and external genital structures in 46,XY individuals, causing a variety of phenotypes ranging from male infertility to completely normal female external genitalia.
