Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
Edit
This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/androgen-insensitivity-syndrome

Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a condition that affects sexual development before birth and during puberty. People with this condition are genetically male, with one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each cell. Because their bodies are unable to respond to certain male sex hormones (called androgens), they may have mostly female external sex characteristics or signs of both male and female sexual development.
