BACKGROUND: We have recently suggested that homozygosity for a specific 'AGATA' haplotype within a approximately 50 kb linkage disequilibrium (LD) block of the gene for estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) may raise the susceptibility to cryptorchidism by enhancing estrogenic effects of environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs). METHODS: Haplotype analysis of ESR1 was performed in 328 Japanese subjects, i.e. 70...
