Abstract excerpt

The 5alpha-reductase-2 encoded by the SRD5A2 gene plays a critical role in male sex differentiation by converting testosterone into 5alpha dihydrotestosterone in the peripheral target tissues. In this study, we examined the SRD5A2 gene in 81 Japanese patients with micropenis (age, 0-14 yr; median, 7 yr) whose stretched penile lengths were between -2.5 SD and -2.0 SD in 39 patients (age, 0-13 yr; median, 8 yr) and...
