General Information
People with this intersex variation have XY chromosomes and testes. They do not have one of the enzymes needed to synthesize testosterone. Most people with this variation have a vagina, vulva, and undecended testes. Some have ambiguous genitalia. Some have a micropenis that may have proximal hypospadias.
During puberty, people with 17 beta will often develop secondary sex characteristics associated with a typical testosterone puberty.
