Overview

In 1953 the first medical report on AIS was published by J. M. Morris, an american gynecologist.

Historical Perspective

  • In 1953 the first medical report on AIS was published by J. M. Morris, an american gynecologist. [1] [2] [3]
  • In 1989, the exact location of the human Androgen receptor (AR) gene on Xq11-12 locus was determined and the proof that it is caused by mutations in this gene. [4] [5] [6]

Reifenstein syndrome

One might fairly call Reifenstein syndrome "even more partial" AIS, but when E.C. Reifenstein described the features of a new syndrome of male "familial hypogonadism" in 1947, it was not known that this condition was due to an abnormal androgen receptor and related to the female conditions of CAIS or PAIS. Additional familial intersex and hypogonadal conditions described by Lubs, Gilbert, Dreyfus, Rosewater, Walker, and others are now considered variants of the Reifenstein syndrome form of AIS. [7]
