Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome in Three Sisters
نویسنده
چکیده
Disorders of sexual development (DSD) are congenital anomalies due to atypical development of chromosomes, gonads and anatomy. Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), also known as testicular feminization (TF) is a rare DSD disease. The majority of CAIS patients apply to hospital with the complaint of primary amenorrhea or infertility. Given that CAIS patients are all phenotypically female while having 46, XY karyotypes, CAIS diagnosis should be disclosed in an age-appropriate manner preferably by a mental health professional. Cases are reported here for three 46XY siblings consistent with CAIS.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a rare disease, manifested as normal female external phenotype to infertile male with 46 XY karyotype due to different level of resistance of androgen receptor. Androgen insensitivy syndrome is classified as complete, partial and mild androgen insensitivity. Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome is further subclassified according to morphogenesis as predomin...
متن کاملComplete androgen insensitivity syndrome caused by a deep intronic pseudoexon-activating mutation in the androgen receptor gene
Mutations in the X-linked androgen receptor (AR) gene underlie complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), the most common cause of 46,XY sex reversal. Molecular genetic diagnosis of CAIS, however, remains uncertain in patients who show normal coding region of AR. Here, we describe a novel mechanism of AR disruption leading to CAIS in two 46,XY sisters. We analyzed whole-genome sequencing ...
