Preferred term

androgen-insensitivity syndrome  

Definition

  • The term Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) refers to an X-chromosome-linked recessive mutation resulting in undervirilization of male external genitalia. The degree to which external genitalia are “feminized” is dependent on the functionality of the androgen receptor. [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome]
