abstract = {The brain structural changes related to gender incongruence
(GI) are still poorly understood. Previous studies comparing
gray matter volumes (GMV) between cisgender and transgender
individuals with GI revealed conflicting results. Leveraging
a comprehensive sample of transmen (n = 33), transwomen (n =
33), cismen (n = 24), and ciswomen (n = 25), we employ a
region-of-interest (ROI) approach to examine the most
frequently reported brain regions showing GMV differences
between trans- and cisgender individuals. The primary aim is
to replicate previous findings and identify anatomical
regions which differ between transgender individuals with GI
and cisgender individuals. On the basis of a comprehensive
literature search, we selected a set of ROIs (thalamus,
putamen, cerebellum, angular gyrus, precentral gyrus) for
which differences between cis- and transgender groups have
been previously observed. The putamen was the only region
showing significant GMV differences between cis- and
transgender, across previous studies and the present study.
We observed increased GMV in the putamen for transwomen
compared to both transmen and ciswomen and for all
transgender participants compared to all cisgender
participants. Such a pattern of neuroanatomical differences
corroborates the large majority of previous studies. This
potential replication of previous findings and the known
involvement of the putamen in cognitive processes related to
body representations and the creation of the own body image
indicate the relevance of this region for GI and its
potential as a structural biomarker for GI},
