AB  - Previous studies hypothesized a neurobiological mechanism for gender identity 
      disorder (GID). Recently a possible role for serum brain-derived neurotrophic 
      factor (BDNF) was suggested on the basis of reduced serum BDNF levels in 
      male-to-female individuals. Here we review the question whether there is indeed a 
      role of BDNF in the development of transsexualism.
