For the last several years after I first heard of the term intersex or Klinefelter syndrome, I began to wish that I too had a genetic make up to support this to at least help give me a reason to feel the confusion that I feel. Sadly that was ruled out when I had genetic testing done when my then wife and I were seeking fertility help. To this day, they have no explanation as to why my T is low.
It almost seems to be that here is a million and a half different versions ans combinations of intersex syndromes. If the lab is not advised to look for certain chromosome combinations and genetic markers on those, nobody might ever find the reason why you are different. We are just at the early morning of all this genetic and chromosome mapping and research.
I went through most of my life, and that as a medical professional very deeply involved in microbiology, and had no idea what was going on with me. I could have done the testing myself, I had the alb equipment to do it, but I had no idea what to look for where! I just knew that I was different. If my breasts would not have started to grow, and if I would not have gotten the results from my genome analysis, I would not have started to look around and insisted on testing. Now, after putting the individual puzzle pieces together, I can form a picture in my mind,on what was going on with me. But I know only about the rather easy mutation of my body, the XXY chromosome structure, but I have the feeling that there is something else outside the norm going on with me. But, again, I don't know what to look for. I am pretty good in microbiology, but genetics is another absolutely different playing field.
What I want to say, you may as well be an intersex person, ne just has not yet discovered your mutation, because it might lay outside of the commonly looked at pattern of chromosome arrangements.
If you are outside of the appearance or conditions of the general public, it is very likely that a mutation has occurred while you were developing inside your mothers womb!
