Chloe was born with male genitalia but now lives happily as a woman. What gene effect may have resulted in Chloe being transsexual rather than cisgender (same gender as biological sex)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chloe's brain may not have been masculinized due to the effects of an allele of the AR gene, which is responsible for androgen receptor function. If the AR gene is not functioning properly, it can lead to a lack of masculinization of the brain, potentially contributing to a transgender identity.
