Date: 25/07/2005 Q. How many babies each year are born with an intersex condition? G. It's about 1 in 4,500 babies so in the State of Victoria, that would be one a month. Q. Can you just tell me about the range of intersex conditions. G.

Q. What's that condition called? G. That's called congenital adrenal hypoplasia and 1 in 14,000 babies has got that. Q. What's the most common intersex condition? G.
