Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aberrant expression of genes involved in androgen metabolism and genetic contribution are unclear in hypospadias. METHODS: We compared gene expression profiles by RNA sequencing from five non-hypospadiac foreskins, five mild hypospadiac foreskins, and five severe hypospadiac foreskins. In addition, to identify rare coding variants with large effects on hypospadias risk, we carried out whole exome...
