Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects sexual development before birth and during puberty. Individuals with this condition are genetically male but their body is unable to respond to male hormones or androgens, resulting in the development of female external genitalia and breasts. As a result, they are often raised as female, just like in Nathan's case.
