Abstract
Disorders of sexual development (DSD) are congenital anomalies due to atypical development
of chromosomes, gonads and anatomy. Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome
(CAIS), also known as testicular feminization (TF) is a rare DSD disease. The
majority of CAIS patients apply to hospital with the complaint of primary amenorrhea or
infertility. Given that CAIS patients are all phenotypically female while having 46, XY
karyotypes, CAIS diagnosis should be disclosed in an age-appropriate manner preferably
by a mental health professional. Cases are reported here for three 46XY siblings consistent
with CAIS.
