Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Exogenous androgen supplement is an optional treatment for micropenis; however, its use in childhood is controversial due to potential side effects. METHODS: Twenty-three children (mean age: 4.07±3.4 years) with micropenis of unknown causes harboring the 46,XY karyotype were recruited in an open prospective study. Androgen receptor (AR), steroid 5α-reductase-2 (SRD5A2), and SRY genes were sequenced;...
