Two transsexuals with 47-XYY karyotype

N Buhrich et al. Br J Psychiatry. 1978 Jul.

Abstract

Previous reports of sexual orientation and gender identity in subjects with XYY karyotype are reviewed. Two patients seeking a change of sex operation and found to have an XYY karyotype are described. It is argued that an XYY karyotype may predispose to a disturbed gender identity and possibly to the development of the transsexual syndrome.
