At puberty, the surge in mainly testosterone production causes individuals to virilize, with a noticeable increase in muscle mass, deepening of the voice, and an increase in libido, prompting most to transition to the male gender

Most patients will develop no or mild symptoms, while some patients may develop hyper-inflammation caused by the production of a large amount of cytokines, known as a cytokine storm, which may lead to fatal pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
