Ultrasonography revealed bilateral inguinal testes and a blind-ended vagina with absent uterus and ovaries. Her genetic assessment revealed 47, XXY Klinefelter syndrome, and androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) was suspected by hormone assay. Her testosterone level was 43.061 nmol/l, well above the male level. LH (36.1 U/L) was normal whilst the FSH (51.6 U/L) was above the female range in the luteal phase. The DEXA scan was normal.
