Genital Abnormalities

These vary enormously. At the mildest end of the spectrum, the testicles maybe undescended. The penis may be small and the scrotum poorly developed. Sometimes "hypospadias" is present, when the exit for the urine is not at the end of the penis but along the shaft. In a few children, the appearance of the genitalia makes the child's gender unclear or else appears to be female. The children do not have wombs or ovaries but small poorly formed testes may be found during exploratory surgery. The development of the genitalia depends on the presence of the male sex hormones which are principally made by the testes. The problems of genital development seen in ATR-X syndrome are probably due to inadequate amounts of male hormones and this may also be the reason for some of the children not passing through puberty normally. Paradoxically, in a few children, sparse pubic hair may be present in early childhood and the cause of this is unclear.
