    This study defines sexual ambiguities, encompassing genital anomalies and gonadal variations, excluding isolated gonad absence. It highlights the crucial role of genetic counseling for early sex registration, prevention, and timely intervention in these conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Endocrinology
    • Developmental Biology

    Context:

    • Sexual ambiguities encompass external genital anomalies and gonadal variations.
    • Conditions with evident characteristics of the other sex are included, even with clear sex attribution.
    • Cases solely involving gonad absence are excluded from this definition.

    Purpose:

    • To define the scope of sexual ambiguities for clear classification.
    • To emphasize the importance of genetic counseling in managing these conditions.
    • To propose a novel classification system for sexual developmental defects.

    Summary:

    • The authors define sexual ambiguities broadly, including external and internal genital anomalies, and gonadal variations.
    • They underscore the necessity of genetic counseling for early sex registration, genetic prevention, and prompt corrective interventions.
