Objective:

To report a case of Type A insulin resistance syndrome (TAIRS) due to a novel mutation in the INSR gene and to review the literature on TAIRS.

Key Findings:
  • The proband exhibited severe insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism despite a non-obese phenotype.
  • The identified INSR gene mutation was absent in family members, indicating a de novo occurrence.
  • Long-term management of TAIRS requires individualized, multidisciplinary strategies.
Interpretation:

The case highlights the role of genetic testing in adolescents with atypical PCOS features and severe hyperinsulinemia.

Limitations:
  • The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
  • Long-term outcomes of the management strategies are not reported.
Conclusion:

This case expands the known pathogenic variant spectrum of the INSR gene.
