Abstract
- Abstract 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 sequencing in three patients in a hypospadias family. Results The average expression of androgen receptor (AR) and CYP19A1 were significantly decreased in severe hypospadias (p
