Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore possible molecular mechanism of hypospadias and relationship of the mutation of SRD5A2 gene to hypospadias. METHODS: 96 blood samples from the patients with hypospadias were obtained and DNA was extracted from blood leukocytes. Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing were performed to analyze the coding regions of SRD5A2 gene. RESULTS: 8 mutations were detected from 14 cases,...
