WNT4 Deficiency is an intersex variation that effects CTF individuals. Those with this variation usually also have Müllerian Agenesis, however this variation is rarer than Müllerian Agenesis, meaning those with Müllerian Agenesis usually do not have this variation.
Those with this variation have an underdeveloped or absent vagina, ambiguous genitals, an underdeveloped or absent uterus, and hyperandrogenism. Because of this, they develop acne, amenorrhea, and extra body hair.
They may experience pain during sexual intercourse, urinary tract infections, and/or kidney stones however this is not always the case.
Causes
WNT4 Deficiency is caused by mutations in the WNT4 gene. This genetic mutation can occur randomly as a spontaneous event (i.e., new mutation) or it can be inherited from parents. This is due to an abnormal gene that one or both parents could have within their system. If both parents have it, the variation will be more severe when passed down to the child.
Flag
The WNT4 Deficiency flag was coined by Reign of the breadsticcs on May 7th of 2021. It has no confirmed meaning.
