Preface: Our PubMed search for DSD revealed close to 3000 articles and the search for transgender and gender dysphoria about 250 articles for the past 12 months. The topics in DSD were very broad ranging from new and old genes and their mechanism of action to diagnostic themes and new therapeutic options. Additional reports on gender dysphoria with DSD and articles on ethical discussions were published. In transgender, there were many articles on gender dysphoria and autism as well as several reports dealing with the worldwide rise in numbers of youth with gender identity issues.
