In amongst the various news reports that "the transsexuality gene has been found," there's this blurb:

The scientists collected DNA samples from 112 male-to-female transsexuals and found that they were more likely to have a longer version of the AR gene than another group of 258 non-transsexual men.

The longer AR gene was found in 55.4 percent of people in the transsexual group and 47.6 percent of the non-transsexual men, they wrote in an article published in Biological Psychiatry. (link)

So, um, hmm. Really strong correlation, there.
