Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Girls with complete or partial androgen insensitivity syndrome have either a mutation or incomplete functioning of the androgen receptor gene on the X chromosome, causing them to be unable to respond to androgens (male hormones) and resulting in underdevelopment of the male reproductive system. These individuals are typically raised as females and have a female appearance, but may have some male internal reproductive structures (such as testes) that do not function properly. This condition is caused by genetic variations on the X chromosome and can result in complete or partial androgen insensitivity.
