Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Isabel Esteva"
Isabel Esteva's research primarily focuses on the genetic and epigenetic factors underlying gender dysphoria and differences of sex development (DSD), exploring variations in key genes such as NR5A1/SF-1 and estrogen receptors.
Recent findings indicate the presence of multiple likely disease-causing genetic variations in patients with DSD and highlight the significant role of estrogen receptor coactivators in the biological basis of gender incongruence.
Esteva's work combines clinical, biochemical, and genetic analyses, providing insights into the complex relationship between genetics, hormone treatment, and the expression of gender identity in various populations.
