Gender Dysphoria in Adolescents With Heritable Disorders of Connective Tissue: A Case Series

Learning Points Increased prevalence of gender dysphoria was observed among adolescents within a northern California multidisciplinary connective tissue disorders clinic relative to the California state average. Rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidality were high within this cohort at 100%, 89%, and 67%, respectively. Multidisciplinary clinics may be particularly well‐positioned to provide comprehensive care for patients experiencing connective tissue disorders and gender dysphoria.

Abstract

Learning Points Increased prevalence of gender dysphoria was observed among adolescents within a northern California multidisciplinary connective tissue disorders clinic relative to the California state average. Rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidality were high within this cohort at 100%, 89%, and 67%, respectively. Multidisciplinary clinics may be particularly well‐positioned to provide comprehensive care for patients experiencing connective tissue disorders and gender dysphoria.
