Rare Genetic Variants of Cell Adhesion Molecules in Transgender Men Suggest a Potential Role in Gender Dysphoria
Our study shows that rare variants in cell adhesion genes, previously reported in TW, are also prominent in TM. These findings may help guide further investigations into genes that could be relevant to neurodevelopmental pathways, including those involved in brain sexual differentiation. .
