'''17-AH Deficiency''' or '''17-Alpha-Hydroxylase Deficiency''' is an [[intersex]] variation in which the adrenal glands- (the glands that regulate the production of certain horomones-hormones) do not properly function. Because of this, the reproductive system does not grow very strongly. This variation is estimatesestimated to effect one in a million individuals at birth.<ref>https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/17-alpha-hydroxylase-17-20-lyase-deficiency/</ref>
Those with XX chromosomes ([[CTF]]) have abnormally small ovaries and an abnormally small uterus. Because of this, they [[Secondary Sex Agenesis|do not develop many secondary sex traits]], (such as breasts, pubic hair, or menstruation cycles.) From this, they are unable to conceive a child, and thus are infertile, and. usuallyThey alsooften fall under [[AFAB Hypogonadism]].
Those with XY chromosomes ([[CTM]]) usually have [[Ambiguous Genitalia|ambiguous genitals]] or a vagina, and because of this, theythus are often mistaken as [[femalemüllerian]]. Those that do have a penis often have a [[Agenital|micropenis, cryptorchidism,]] and/or [[hypospadias]]. They are also infertile, and often fall under [[AMAB Hypogonadism]].
It is important to note that not all the symptoms listed above are guaranteed to occur in someone with this variation, as someone may only experience one or several of these symptoms, yet still hold the variation.
== Genetics ==
This variation is inherited in an ''autosomal recessive pattern,'' which means both parents have a copy of the gene mutation that causes this, and both of their genes combined is what effected the child when being conceived.
== Flag ==
The flag was coined by Anderson from [[User:Cryptocrew|Cryptocrew's]] [[system]] on April 35th of 2021. Blue represents malewolffian-like traits, pink represents female müllerian-like traits, purple represents ambiguous traits, yellow represents diversity, white represents community, black represents abnormalities in size, and the black design is designedsupposed to resemble the uterus/ovaries and/or the malewolffian reproductive system/testicles.
The alternate flag was coined on the same day by Anderson, with the same meanings. ▼
