- People with mild androgen insensitivity syndrome (MAIS) respond to testosterone at a somewhat reduced level compared to typical levels, which means that they will usually be born with a penis (which may or may not be smaller than typical) and will later develop secondary sex characteristics associated with a typical testosterone puberty. Because their bodies convert a small amount of their naturally produced androgens into estrogen, they may have visible variations in features, such as the amount of facial hair, body hair, or muscle tone they develop. They may also experience some breast development during puberty.
