Genetic Analysis Reveals Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome in Female Children Surgically Treated for Inguinal Hernia.

CONCLUSIONS: We report the delayed diagnosis of CAIS in female Indonesian patients with a history of inguinal hernia in childhood. An early diagnosis of CAIS is essential for appropriate clinical management, as well as assessing familial risk. Increasing awareness among clinicians is paramount, and we encourage a CAIS diagnosis to be considered in any patient presenting with female appearance and inguinal hernia.
