Abstract excerpt
MAMLD1 (mastermind-like domain containing 1), also known as CXorf6 (chromosome X open reading frame 6) has been shown to be a causative gene for hypospadias. This is primarily based on the identification of nonsense mutations (E124X, Q197X, and R653X) which undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay in patients with penoscrotal hypospadias. Subsequent molecular studies have shown that (1) the mouse homolog is...
