In gonadal Dysgenesis there is no production of sex hormones whereas in Androgen resistance though there are sex hormones produced however (as the name implies) they are useless as there is resistance to them and so have no physiological function.Therefore to differentiate them one needs to measure the hormonal levels....in the former they will be low or none whereas in the later it will be higher than normal.

"Pure gonadal dysgenesis is - Swyer Syndrome.
This syndrome is similar to Turner Syndrome in that individuals with this syndrome will have only streak gonads.
In contrast to Turner Syndrome, in which a chromosome is missing (XO), individuals with Swyer Syndrome have XY (male) chromosomes.
Although Swyer Syndrome individuals have a Y chromosome, the chromosome may be missing the sex-determining segment. Without this segment, the embryo cannot develop testes and as a result, the masculinizing hormones are also missing.
In the absence of the masculinizing hormones, the fetus will take the 'default' female path and will develop a uterus but will not have any ovaries.
"This condition is not apparent at birth and the child will be raised as a girl. The syndrome is generally diagnosed at puberty when the absence of a menstruation and breast enlargement causes suspicion.
