Sex hormone deficiency is the most common cause of bone loss. Reduced bone mass and an increased risk for osteoporotic fractures have been described in hypogonadal subjects of both sexes. We present here the results of treating two patients showing abnormal sexual differentiation (an XX male and an XY female), who suffered from bone loss related to sex hormone deficiency, with cross genotype sex hormones.
