1. A child with ambiguous genitalia may have ovaries/uterus and testicles present.
2. The hormone test is not appropriate because children with ambiguous genitalia can have ovaries and testicles.
3. A child with ambiguous genitalia can have a release of estrogen.
4. A chromosome test is the only test that can identify the DNA makeup of a male or female when a child has ambiguous genitalia.
