Different insulin-like 3 (INSL3) gene mutations not associated with human cryptorchidism.

Abstract excerpt

Cryptorchidism is the most frequent congenital anomaly of the urogenital tract in the male, but its etiology is for the most part unknown. Evidence suggests that a possible genetic cause may be involved. Animal models support this hypothesis, and in particular INSL3 (Leydig insulin-like 3 hormone) has been proposed as putative gene for cryptorchidism, since male mice mutant for Insl3 exhibit bilateral abdominal...
