Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome is further sub-classified according to morphogenesis as predominant female phenotype, ambiguous genitalia and predominant male phenotype. Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome usually presents in early month of life but this can present rarely at puberty with primary amenorrhea as complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.
