-'''SERKAL Syndrome''' is an [[intersex]] variation similar to [[De La Chapelle Syndrome|de la chapelle syndrome]] in which an individual has female chromosomes (XX) however they have a male appearance outwardly. This occurs in 1 in 1,000,000 [[CTM]] individuals.
+'''SERKAL Syndrome''' is an [[intersex]] variation (similar to [[De La Chapelle Syndrome|de la chapelle syndrome]]) in which an individual has [[müllerian]] chromosomes (XX) however they have a [[wolffian]] appearance.

-It is important to note that not all the symptoms listed in this page are guaranteed to occur in someone with this variation, as someone may only experience one or several of these symptoms, yet still hold the variation.
 == Causes ==
-This variation is due to mutation in the ''Wnt4'' gene, which causes sex reversal that occurs during fetal development, in which gonad differentiation occurs. This means they were originally going to develop as female, however only the chromosomes did such, and the rest of the body developed in a male-like fashion.
