Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes that influence development of the male reproductive tract have been associated with male genitourinary abnormalities. However, no studies have tested the relationship between SNPs and intermediate phenotypes such as anogenital distance (AGD), anoscrotal distance (ASD) and penile width (PW). We tested whether 24 common SNPs in eight genes that influence male genital...
