There are many ways someone can be intersex as it involves a spectrum of reproductive characteristics.

Some intersex conditions may be related to underlying concerns that might require medical care, but people who are intersex are generally as healthy as those who are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"block--read-more-banner flex z-20 text-blue-800 bg-blue-100 border-l-4 border-blue-500 px-5 py-3 mb-5 sm:mb-8 \">\n        <p class=\"text-base text-blue-800\">\n            <strong class=\"text-sm uppercase\">Read more |&nbsp;<\/strong>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/\/news\/differences-of-sex-development-101-its-complicated\/\" class=\"underline hover:text-pink-500\" target=\"\">Differences of Sex Development 101:  it\u2019s complicated<\/a>        <\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bd-grid-container__column flex w-full col-span-4 sm:col-span-6            \">\n    <div class=\"w-full wp-block-bd-grid-container-column\">\n        <div class=\"grid-container-column__innerblocks cms-content\n                            \">\n\n    <div class=\"block-faqs mb-12\">\n        \n            <div class=\"faq w-full flex flex-col bg-gray-100 mb-1\">\n                <div class=\"faq__question group relative py-4 pl-4 pr-16 sm:py-6 sm:pl-6 sm:pr-16 cursor-pointer\" data-target=\"block_8d013e4c206d2f088735ecf667b57dab-answer-1\">\n                    <h3 class=\"text-lg sm:text-xl font-bold text-blue-800 leading-tight group-hover:text-blue-500\" class=\"text-lg sm:text-xl font-bold text-blue-800 leading-tight group-hover:text-blue-500\" id=\"how-common-are-intersex-conditions\">How common are intersex conditions?<\/h3>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/wp-content\/themes\/hudson-au\/img\/arrow-down--pink.svg\" class=\"faq__arrow absolute w-auto h-3 transform transition-transform duration-300 -rotate-90\" style=\"top: calc(50% - (.75rem \/ 2)); right: 1.5rem;\" \/>\n                <\/div>\n                <div id=\"block_8d013e4c206d2f088735ecf667b57dab-answer-1\" class=\"faq__answer cms-content px-4 sm:px-6 pb-4 sm:pb-6 hidden\">\n                    <div class=\"cms-content\">\n                        <p>An estimated 1.7 per cent of babies are born with intersex conditions, although many variations are not apparent at birth.

The quality of life of people who are intersex and their families can be affected by the condition\u2019s cause, uncertainty about care choices, and chronic stress associated with stigma and lifelong clinical care.<\/p>\n<p>Diagnosis is difficult, so this innovative study aims to uncover genetic causes by DNA sequencing, mapping the entire genome, and validating the genetic variations discovered in gonadal cell models. The long-term goal is to improve clinical care as part of a multidisciplinary collaboration with the Monash Children\u2019s Hospital and Royal Children\u2019s Hospital across individual.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                                            <div class=\"related_researchers\">\n                            <ul class=\"flex flex-wrap mt-4 -mb-1\">\n                                                                    <li class=\"inline-flex mr-1 mb-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/researcher-profile\/vincent-harley\/\" class=\"px-4 py-2 bg-pink-500 leading-none text-sm text-white rounded-full\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"staff-full-name\">Professor Vincent Harley<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n                                                            <\/ul>\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"faq w-full flex flex-col bg-white border-b-4 border-pink-500 shadow-lg-center mb-2\">\n                <div class=\"faq__question group relative py-4 pl-4 pr-16 sm:py-6 sm:pl-6 sm:pr-16 cursor-pointer\" data-target=\"block_b3f4c3e07c5e8a081e239180cf9616b6-answer-2\">\n                    <h3 class=\"text-lg sm:text-xl font-bold text-blue-800 leading-tight group-hover:text-blue-500\" class=\"text-lg sm:text-xl font-bold text-blue-800 leading-tight group-hover:text-blue-500\" id=\"modelling-the-genetic-causes-of-intersex-conditions\">Modelling the genetic causes of intersex conditions<\/h3>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/wp-content\/themes\/hudson-au\/img\/arrow-down--pink.svg\" class=\"faq__arrow absolute w-auto h-3 transform transition-transform duration-300 -rotate-90\" style=\"top: calc(50% - (.75rem \/ 2)); right: 1.5rem;\" \/>\n                <\/div>\n                <div id=\"block_b3f4c3e07c5e8a081e239180cf9616b6-answer-2\" class=\"faq__answer cms-content px-4 sm:px-6 pb-4 sm:pb-6 hidden\">\n                    <div class=\"cms-content\">\n                        <p><a href=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/dr-uyen-le.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-70763\" src=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/dr-uyen-le.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Uyen Le\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Our previous clinical studies have shown that key proteins SOX9, ATRX and FGFR2\/FGF9 are needed to develop as a male (for review see PMID: 40744924). Next, we are taking these novel variations identified in human patients and testing their effects in preclinical models. We are looking at how these genes\/proteins express themselves and providing the information to clinicians to assist in their management of patients with intersex related conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Recently we co-developed a cell system derived from skin cells of intersex patients that recapitulates early events in the gonads of the embryo that go awry in intersex conditions (PMID: 38520033).
