Abstract excerpt
Various mutations of the AR gene and expanded CAG repeats at exon 1 of that gene have been reported in patients with hypospadias or genital ambiguity. However, the role of the AR gene has not been systemically studied in those with isolated micropenis lacking hypospadias or genital ambiguity. We studied 64 Japanese boys with isolated micropenis (age, 0-14 yr; median, 7 yr), whose stretched penile lengths were...
