[[File:Screenshot 2021-04-30 at 6.04.32 PM.png|thumb|234x234px|The Chromosome 18 Ring flag. ]]'''Chromosome 18 Ring''' is a conditionsyndrom that - in some cases - may be considered an [[intersex]] conditionvariation, although many would say it ''causes'' intersex conditionstraits rather than being one in of itself. This conditionsyndrome is seemingly rare, with no known estimates.
This conditionsyndrome can cause a [[Agenital|missing or undescended testicle, a micropenis]], and/or [[hypospadias]] in [[CTM]]/[[AMAB]] individuals. Amongst CTF/AFAB individuals with this conditionsyndrome tend to have labial hypoplasia (one or both labias missing.)
This conditionsyndrome often comes with low muscle tone, strabismus, hearing loss, undersized kidneys, foot abnormalties, scoliosis, rib-cage abnormalities, umbilical and inguinal hernias, and brain defects that often lead one to fall on the autism spectrum.
It is important to note that not all the symptoms listed in this page are guaranteed to occur in someone with this conditionsyndrome, as someone may only experience one or several of these symptoms, yet still hold the conditionsyndrome.
== Causes ==
This conditionsyndrome is caused when there is a defect, loss, or deletion in the 18th chromosome, which causes the ending of other chromosomes to form a ring. This chromosomal abnormality causes the formation during the fetal stage to change, and causes development to be different than usual. This could affect all cells, however it usually only affects a small handful of them.
== History ==
This conditionsyndrome was first reported in 1964.
== Flag ==
The flag was designed by FANDOM user Poggingcameron on April 30th of 2021. The blue signifies the missing or undescended testicle, the ring represents the chromosomes ending in a ring, and the minus signifies the lack of estimated people with the conditionsyndrome.
