intersex conditions

What Are the Common Types of Intersex Conditions?

There are several types of intersex conditions, including:
1. Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS): A condition where individuals have XY chromosomes but develop female characteristics due to the body's inability to respond to male hormones.
2. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH): A group of disorders affecting adrenal gland function, leading to excess androgen production and atypical genitalia.
3. 5-Alpha-Reductase Deficiency: A condition affecting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, leading to ambiguous genitalia in genetic males.
4. Turner Syndrome: A condition where individuals have a single X chromosome (45,X) and may have underdeveloped female characteristics.
5. Klinefelter Syndrome: A condition in which individuals have an extra X chromosome (47,XXY), leading to male characteristics with some female traits.
