Letter to the editor: Sex and the Eye test

We read professor Hughes commentary on our manuscript “Cognitive abilities in women with complete androgen insensitivity or gonadal dysgenesis” with great interest. He acknowledges that we, quite unexpectedly, found that on a test of emotion recognition (the eye test) women with either androgen insensitivity or gonadal dysgenesis, both groups havin g XY chromosomes and lacking early androgen effects, performed inferior to women in the control group that we assume have 46,XX karyotype. In addition, they performed inferior to a small group of women with XX gonadal dysgenesis, lacking early androgen and oestrogen effects.
