At day 1 of life, for example, gal-1 levels were remarkably increased in infants born to severe AIS (Figure 2A; mean ± SD; severe AIS: 128.5 ng/ml ± 61.5, suspected AIS: 89.5 ng/ml ± 69.3, no AIS: 63.5 ± 34.9; P < 0.001), which was also observed for gal-9 (Figure 2E; severe AIS: 4 ng/ml ± 1.6, suspected AIS: 3 ng/ml ± 1.9, no AIS: 2.8 ± 1.8; P = 0.011). Here, LGALS9 is linked to androgen insensitivity syndrome.
