Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The RXFP2 receptor plays a key role in testicular descent, mediating the action of relaxin on gubernaculum development. The T222P polymorphism in the RXFP2 gene has previously been investigated in relation to cryptorchidism, but reported associations have been inconsistent across populations. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the association of the T222P variant in the RXFP2 gene...
