A phenomenon of gender dysphoria has been actively investigated from 1950s when clinicians became able to treat gender dysphoria utilizing hormone therapy and surgery. Here we review the recent data on development and genetic basis of gender dysphoria. Future epidemiological, genome-wide association and epigenetic studies are needed for improving our understanding of gender dysphoria development.
