Their web site remains the largest repository of information on Androgen Insensitivity.

Medical Professionals

In addition to the above organizations, the AIS-DSD Board Members have access to a medical advisory board that we can refer more complicated questions to for answers or links to others who can help.

Dr. Charmian Quigley

One of our strongest allies in the medical arena, has been Dr. Charmian Quigley who has been with us since the formation of the Support Group back in 1995. Dr. Quigley (shown at right) donates considerable time and resources to our group and each summer at the annual meeting leads a number of sessions that help us learn of the latest information on DSD. If you have a question for Dr. Quigley, you can post it via the parents' support group e-mail circle that she is a part of already, or you may write the AIS-DSD
