Description
People born with AIS have XY chromosomes and testes, and their bodies have varying levels of insensitivity to androgens (including testosterone). This means that their cells do not respond typically to the testosterone that they produce. Like other variations in sex characteristics, AIS is a spectrum, with the subcategories of complete (CAIS), partial (PAIS), and mild androgen insensitivity (MAIS). The term "male androgen insensitivity syndrome" should not be used to describe this variation because many people with AIS are women.
English
Las personas que nacen con AIS (por sus siglas en inglés) [or use the Spanish acronym, SIA. This applies to its usage throughout the definition.] tienen cromosomas XY y testículos, y sus cuerpos tienen distintos niveles de insensibilidad a los andrógenos (incluida la testosterona). Esto significa que sus células no responden de forma regular a la testosterona que producen. Al igual que otras variaciones en las características sexuales, la AIS es un espectro, con las subcategorías de insensibilidad completa (CAIS), parcial (PAIS) y leve a los andrógenos (MAIS). El término "síndrome de insensibilidad masculina a los andrógenos" no debe utilizarse para describir esta variación ya que muchas personas con AIS son mujeres.
