Journal ArticleDOI
Epigenetic Predictor of Age
Sven Bocklandt,Wen Lin,Mary E. Sehl,Francisco J. Sánchez,Janet S. Sinsheimer,Steve Horvath,Eric Vilain +6 more
TL;DR: A measurement of relevant sites in the genome could be a tool in routine medical screening to predict the risk of age-related diseases and to tailor interventions based on the epigenetic bio-age instead of the chronological age.
Journal ArticleDOI
The genetics of sex differences in brain and behavior.
TL;DR: The evidence for direct genetic effects in behavioral and brain sex differences is reviewed, including the 'four core genotypes' model and sex differences in the midbrain dopaminergic system, specifically focusing on the role of Sry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Androgen Receptor Repeat Length Polymorphism Associated with Male-to-Female Transsexualism
Lauren May Hare,Pascal Bernard,Francisco J. Sánchez,Paul N. Baird,Eric Vilain,Trudy Kennedy,Vincent R. Harley,Vincent R. Harley +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides evidence that male gender identity might be partly mediated through the androgen receptor, and a significant association was identified between transsexualism and the AR allele, with transsexuals having longer AR repeat lengths than non-transsexual male control subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collective self-esteem as a coping resource for male-to-female transsexuals.
Francisco J. Sánchez,Eric Vilain +1 more
TL;DR: It was revealed that the fear of how a transsexual identity would affect one's life was the best predictor of the severity of psychological distress, consistent with findings from other historically marginalized groups whereby the stress of being stigmatized by society adversely affects mental health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional gray matter variation in male-to-female transsexualism
Eileen Luders,Francisco J. Sánchez,Christian Gaser,Arthur W. Toga,Katherine L. Narr,Liberty S. Hamilton,Eric Vilain +6 more
TL;DR: MRI data of 24 male-to-female (MTF) transsexuals not yet treated with cross-sex hormones are analyzed to provide new evidence that transsexualism is associated with distinct cerebral pattern, which supports the assumption that brain anatomy plays a role in gender identity.
