Depending on the severity of the traits, they may also fall under [[Aromatase Excess Syndrome|aromatase excess syndrome]].
Those with CAIS are infertile. It is very rare for those with PAIS and MAIS to be capable of impregnating people.<ref>[https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22199-androgen-insensitivity-syndrome#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20symptom%20across,to%20make%20their%20partners%20pregnant. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22199-androgen-insensitivity-syndrome#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20symptom%20across,to%20make%20their%20partners%20pregnant.]</ref>

'''Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS)''' is a subset of this variation, in which one with XY chromosomes has a complete inability for the cells to respond to androgen receptors. Those with CAIS look outwardly [[Müllerian|mullerian]], with a vagina and breasts. They may have [[Agenital|underdeveloped labia and/or clitoral hypoplasia.]] They have testicles that are either within the labia or within the inguinal ring.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20221225070702/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_androgen_insensitivity_syndrome#Signs_and_symptoms</ref> ▼

Most do not have a uterus, cervix, or fallopian tubes, however in rare cases it does occur.

'''Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (PAIS)''' is a subset of this variation, in which one with XY chromosomes has a partial inability of the cell to respond to androgen receptors. Those with PAIS have a penis (possibly with [[hypospadias]], chordee, and/or a bifid scrotum), micropenis, [[clitoromegaly]], or ambiguous genitalia. Those with PAIS have testicles, with cryptorchidism being common. Some also experience mild breast growth. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220916064816/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_androgen_insensitivity_syndrome</ref>

'''Mild Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (MAIS)''' is a subset of this variation, in which one with XY chromosomes has a mild inability for the cells to respond to androgen receptors. Those with MAIS appear mostly [[wolffian]], with a penis (sometimes with hypospadias) or micropenis. Some also experience mild breast growth. Those with this variation
