They may have problems of visualization and defining objects in relation to each other. Thus, they may have a poor performance in maths, geometry and have a poor sense of direction.

Bushong, Ph.D., LMFT, LMHC page 2 It is my contention that it is possible for an individual to view oneself and function as male or female to varying degrees in each of the five sub-categories independent of the others. For example, an individual may be XX female (chromosomal female), physically female, have a "female brain," be heterosexual but see her(him)self as maleor any other combination. One can be either male or female in each of the five sub-categories independent of each other. If we use "F" for female identity/function, and "M" for male identity/function and one through five for the semi-independent attributes listed above we could describe each individual according to their particular breakdown: A Gender Dysphoric, Morphological Male A Homosexual Male A Dominant, But Heterosexual, Even Feminine, Female Since each of these independent attributes are graded, it is easy to see the possible combinations and degrees number in the thousands With regard to gender, we each can be in a category of oneourselves.

Sex Chromosome Abnormalities T he majority of known types of chromosomal abnormalities involve sex chromosomes . In frequency of occurrence, they are only slightly less common than autosomal abnormalities. However, they are usually much less severe in their effects. The high frequency of people with sex chromosome aberrations is partly due to the fact that they are rarely lethal conditions. Like Down syndrome and other autosomal problems, sex chromosome gross abnormalities can be diagnosed before birth by amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling. S ex chromosome abnormalities are gender specific. Normal males inherit an X and a Y chromosome while females have two X's. A single Y chromosome is sufficient to produce maleness while its absence is necessary for femaleness. Female abnormalities are due to variations in the number of X chromosomes. Male abnormalities are the result of irregular numbers of either the X or the Y chromosome or both. Female Sex Chromosome Abnorm alities T urner syndrome occurs when females inherit only one X chromosometheir genotype is X0. If they survive to birth, these girls have abnormal growth patterns. They are short in stature, averaging 4

Turner's Syndrome: A Case Study by: Carolyn Duda Turner's Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects about one in every 2000 females born. A female with a normal genetic make-up has two X-chromosomes in each of her cells, one which she received from her father and one which she received from her mother. On the other hand, the typical female with Turner's Syndrome has only one X-chromosome in each of her cells due to a nondisjunction event during meiosis of her parents' gametes. There are several variations on this theme as other similar chromosome anomalies occur in a smaller percentage of females with Turner's Syndrome. Depending on the degree of nondisjunction of her parents' gametes, the genetic make-up of a Turner's patient can vary. As discussed above, the majority of patients have only one X-chromosome in all of their cells and thus they are karyotyped 45,XO. The cells in about 15 percent of Turner's patients contain a normal X chromosome plus an X-isochromosome. This isochromosome consists of the two long arms of the X-chromosome but no short distal arm. These individuals are karyotyped 46,XXp- (Nora and Fraser, 1989). Lyon hypothesized that early in the development of a normal female embryo, random inactivation of one of the two X-chromosomes in each cell occurs. This allows the female to have the same amount of X-chromosome material as the average male has. Recent studies have shown that there are genes on the X-chromosome which escape this inactivation. While there are genes located in various regions of the X-chromosome which escape inactivation (Davies, 1991), many of these genes are located on the short distal arm (Brown and Willard, 1990). In this way, the normal female has functioning genes from one complete X-chromosome plus functioning genes from the still active short distal arm of the mostly inactivated X-chromosome. On the other hand, females with the X-chromosome without this short distal arm lack the genes which would normally have remained active. As a result, a female with this X-isochromosome displays the same phenotype as the typical Turner's female who has only one X-chromosome.

The Intersex Spectrum By Carl Gold Physical gender is not always just a matter of XX or XY, girl or boy. In approximately one out of every 100 births, seemingly tiny errors occur during the various stages of fetal sex differentiation, causing a baby's body to develop abnormally. Problems in the formation of chromosomes, gonads, or external genitals can lead to a range of intersex conditions. The most common and well-researched of these conditions are explained below. For information on intersex conditions not mentioned here, see http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/pediatricendocrinology/. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) One in 13,000 births Testosterone Biosynthetic Defects One in 13,000 births In a condition related to CAH, some 46,XY individuals do not have the properly functioning enzymes needed to convert cholesterol to testosterone. When such enzymes prove completely incapable of creating testosterone, the genitals appear female; when the enzymes function at a low level, ambiguous genitals form.

CHROMOSOMES AND INTERSEX Chromosomes, the spaghetti-like strands of hereditary material found in each cell of the body, determine such characteristics as the color of our eyes and hair, our height, and to what extent we are male or female. Women usually have 46XX chromosmes, inheriting two X chromosomes-one from each parent. Men tend to inherit an X chromosome from their mothers, and a Y chromosome from their fathers making them 46XY. The following unusual chromosomal conditions can produce ambiguous genitalia and hermaphroditism: Sometimes a person is born with a 47XXY karyotype. Physicians refer to this genetic condition as either XXY or Klinefelter syndrome. Though these terms are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to two quite different, though related, conditions. In 1942, Dr. Harry Klinefelter while working at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston published with fellow researchers a report about nine adult males who had similar features: tall (around six feet) small testes or hypogonadism inability to produce sperm sparse facial and body hair gynecomastia By the late 1950's researchers discovered that men with these features (Klinefelter syndrome), had an extra X sex chromosome, and were XXY instead of the typical male arrangement of XY.

INTRODUCTION DIAGNOSIS While the diagnosis of Turner syndrome may be made in utero or in the newborn period, it may be delayed into late childhood, adolescence, or even adulthood because of failure to recognise the significance of poor growth or pubertal delay. These two features are highly characteristic, but the majority of girls with Turner syndrome do not have the classical spectrum of phenotypic features including neck webbing and marked cubitus valgus. The ultimate diagnosis is however usually straightforward. Deletion of the whole (45X) or part of one X chromosome will invariably be the basis of the definitive diagnosis. Examination of at least 50 cells is required to exclude low level mosaicism. While the most common forms of mosaicism are 45X/46XX and 45X/46Xiq, the spectrum of Turner syndrome includes karyotypes with Y chromosome material present (eg. 45X/46XY). While most individuals who are found to have Y chromosomal material are phenotypically female, a mixed picture of gonadal dysgenesis, short stature and a male phenotype can occasionally occur; probing for Y chromosome material should be undertaken if there is any evidence of virilisation or when a marker chromosome is found. Gonadal material in such cases is potentially neoplastic and should be removed when recognised, if possible before the age of puberty.
