The CAG repeat within the androgen receptor gene and its relationship to cryptorchidism

International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2006
PURPOSE: We examined the significance of the CAG repeat polymorphism in the pathogenesis of cryptorchidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from blood samples from 42 cryptorchid boys and from 31 non-cryptorchid ...

Intrauterine exposure to mild analgesics is a risk factor for development of male reproductive disorders in human and rat [PDF]

, 2011
International audienceBACKGROUND: More than half of pregnant women in the Western world report intake of mild analgesics, and some of these drugs have been associated with anti-androgenic effects in animal experiments.

Aarskog Syndrome: Deep Phenotyping and Genomic Landscape of a New Cohort Including Adult Patients

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
This study presents the deep phenotyping data of 14 new Aarskog‐Scott syndrome patients with molecular confirmation. ABSTRACT Aarskog‐Scott syndrome (AAS, MIM#305400) is an X‐linked disorder characterized by recognizable facial features, short stature, and genitourinary and skeletal malformations.

Familial micropenis associated with bilateral cryptorchidism: A case report

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2023
Introduction: Micropenis refers to a penile length smaller than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean. Undescended testicle, also known as cryptorchidism, is a frequent reason for young males to be referred for urologic evaluation.

Establishment of a surgically induced cryptorchidism canine recipient model for spermatogonial stem cell transplantation

Laboratory Animal Research, 2016
Transplantation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in experimental animal models has been used to study germ line stem cell biology and to produce transgenic animals. The species-specific recipient model preparation is important for the characterization

Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB With Pancytopenia: A Case Report and Hematological Correlations in Mice

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We report an individual with mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB and chronic pancytopenia. Hematological studies in a mouse model revealed microcytic anemia and decreased monocyte count. Hence, pancytopenia is thought to be secondary to mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB, and we suggest that a complete blood count should be included in the clinical ...

Risk of cryptorchidism among sons of horticultural workers and farmers in Denmark

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2014
OBJECTIVES: Previous studies indicate an increased risk of cryptorchidism, incomplete testicular descent, among sons of women working with pesticides. This study assessed the risk of cryptorchidism among boys of parents employed as horticultural workers ...

Environmental chemicals impact dog semen quality in vitro and may be associated with a temporal decline in sperm motility and increased cryptorchidism [PDF]

, 2016
Adverse temporal trends in human semen quality and cryptorchidism in infants have been associated with exposure to environmental chemicals (ECs) during development.

TRAPPC2l Participates in Male Germ Cell Development by Regulating Cell Division

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Trappc2l is crucial for maintaining the quiescent state of male gonocytes. In the absence of Trappc2l, the quiescent state of gonocytes is disrupted, leading to premature and abnormal initiation of meiosis, which consequently results in subsequent abnormalities in sperm development. ABSTRACT TRAPPC2L is a core subunit of the Transport Protein Particle (

Caveolin 1 Regulates the Tight Junctions between Sertoli Cells and Promotes the Integrity of Blood–Testis Barrier in Yak via the FAK/ERK Signaling Pathway

Animals
Yaks, a valuable livestock species endemic to China’s Tibetan plateau, have a low reproductive rate. Cryptorchidism is believed to be one of the leading causes of infertility in male yaks. In this study, we compared the morphology of the normal testis of
