Gender dysphoria: Insights on etiology and outcomes

Gender dysphoria : Insights on etiology and outcomes

Gender Dysphoria (GD) is defined as significant distress or impairment caused by the discrepancy between an individual's experienced gender and the sex assigned at birth. This work explores the etiology and outcomes of GD through two studies. The first assesses its prevalence in different twin categories, and the second examines the incidence of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in individuals undergoing gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) treatment for GD.The first study utilizes a population-based approach to analyze the prevalence of GD in twins, using data from a Swedish population-based cohort collected over a 16-year period. The objective is to assess the influence of genetic and environmental factors on the development of GD by comparing its prevalence in different-sex twins, same-sex twins, and non-twin siblings. The results indicate a higher prevalence of GD in different-sex twins and suggest a potential influence of intrauterine factors in the development of GD, necessitating further examination of current genetic and environmental theories.The second study focuses on evaluating the occurrence of IIH in individuals undergoing treatment with GnRHa for GD in Sweden between 2006 and 2016. The study did not observe any cases of IIH within the studied cohort. While better-powered studies are needed to clarify any potential association between GnRHa and IIH, the study results do not present substantial evidence to support this association.
