Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), a X-linked disorder caused by AR gene mutations, represents an in vivo model to study the role of androgens in sexual development. Here, we reported a case with CAIS at 20 weeks of gestational age harbouring a novel AR missense mutation (D767V), which was predicted to prevent androgen binding and...
