Identify two technologies that could be used to diagnose CAIS. Describe how each
technology would provide evidence of the disorder.
1. Genetic testing: Genetic testing can be used to identify mutations in the androgen receptor gene (AR) that are associated with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS). This can provide concrete evidence of the disorder by showing specific genetic variations that are responsible for the individual's inability to respond to androgens.
2. Hormone testing: Hormone testing can also be used to diagnose CAIS by measuring hormone levels in the individual's blood. In individuals with CAIS, testosterone levels are typically elevated, while levels of other hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) are typically within normal ranges. These hormone profiles can help provide evidence of CAIS by showing the atypical hormonal patterns associated with the condition.
