Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome

Portion used

Single image from an article in a medical journal.

Low resolution?

The resolution is necessary for readers to be able to properly appreciate the fully female appearance of women with CAIS.
The resolution of this image will not affect journal subscriptions (i.e. revenue).

Purpose of use

This image illustrates that women with complete androgen insensitivity are phenotypically normal women, and that the Y chromosome does not affect the femininity of their bodies.

Replaceable?

CAIS is a rare disorder, affecting approximately 1 in 20,000 births. It is worthy to note that this subject is sensitive, and calls for medical quality photography.
