Two transsexuals with 47-XYY karyotype

N Buhrich, R Barr and PR Lam-Po-Tang

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.
