| Core Tip |
Familial androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS), caused by androgen receptor gene mutations, has long been viewed as a disorder of sex development. However, recent findings revealed that androgen receptor dysfunction also drives metabolic reprogramming in key tissues - pancreatic β-cells, skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue - leading to insulin resistance and increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus. This article highlights emerging evidence of glucagon-like peptide-1 signaling disruption, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammatory imbalance in AIS. We propose an integrated framework of genetic screening, endocrine surveillance, and individualized therapy to improve long-term metabolic outcomes and prevent cardiometabolic complications in AIS patients. |
