Summary
A commentary on Should the genitoplasty of girls with CAH be done in one or two stages? by González R and Ludwikowski BM. In a recent opinion article [1], we incorrectly stated that to date no cases of gender dysphoria had been reported in 46,XX individuals with adrenogenital syndrome raised as females. In a review by Dessens et al in 2005 [2], 13 of 250 (5.2%) cases of females with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) assigned the female gender role early in life later exhibited gender dysphoria of such severity that induced them to seek gender reassignment to male.
