(Patho)physiology of cross-sex hormone administration to transsexual people: the potential impact of male-female genetic differences

Abstract excerpt

There is a limited body of knowledge of desired and undesired effects of cross-sex hormones in transsexual people. Little attention has been given to the fact that chromosomal configurations, 46,XY in male-to-female transsexuals subjects (MtoF) and 46,XX in female-to-male transsexual subjects (FtoM), obviously, remain unchanged.
