    '''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- do not properly function. Because of this, the reproductive system does not grow very strongly. This condition is estimates to effect 1 in a million individuals at birth.

    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 concieve a child, and thus are infertile, and usually also fall under [[AFAB Hypogonadism]].

    Those with XY chromosomes ([[CTM]]) usually have [[Ambiguous Genitalia|ambiguous genitals]] or a vagina, and because of this, they are often mistaken as female. 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]].

    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 concieved.
