Answer:

congenital adrenal hyperplasia; androgen insensitivity syndrome

Step-by-step explanation:

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic disorder which limits the production of hormone in the adrenal glands. It affects children's normal growth as well as development.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome is popularly known as AIS. In this condition a person who is a male having both X and Y chromosomes is resistant to the androgen hormones. Such a person may have some traits of a woman.
