partial androgen insensitivity syndrome
- partial androgen insensitivity syndrome
- a type of androgen insensitivity syndrome of less severity than the complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, with genetic males having decreased sensitivity of target tissues to androgen. Affected boys are often born with ambiguous genitalia, such as hypospadias and a small vaginal pouch, a hooded phallus, or a bifid scrotum that may or may not contain gonads. Called also incomplete testicular feminization and partial androgen resistance.
