BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL ANALYSIS ON ANDROGENIC INSENSIBILITY SYNDROME

A CASE STUDY

Abstract

Morris Syndrome or Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome is the disease generated by a genotypic alteration, where the phenotype is female and the karyotype male (46, XY). Objective: To analyze Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome from a biopsychosocial perspective through a case study. Methodology: This was a prospective longitudinal study of a patient with Morris Syndrome in Mineiros - Goiás. The theoretical support of the research was based on the following databases: LILACS; PubMed, Web Of Science and Scielo. Results: Based on the analysis of the laboratory tests, it was found that, possibly, the genetic syndrome presented is more similar to partial androgen insensitivity (PAIS) than to Morris syndrome. Final considerations: It was found that a conduct is pre-established to meet the needs of patients with PARS from 16 years of age with hormone replacement, as well as gynecoplasty, if desired. Therefore, it is clear that it is a case where biological and social evolutions are worked out gradually and that the results will come from a transversal and multiprofessional monitoring.
