Somatosexual disorders (intersex) are characterized by improper development of sexual organs.

Clinical signs

Most obvious is the malformation of the external genitalia of the newborn (the genitalia is not typically male or female — ambiguous genitalia).

Some syndromes manifest by delay of puberty or infertility (e.g. testicular feminization syndrome).
