Sexually dimorphic anthropometric measurements in patients with hypospadias and cryptorchidism.
Background: Inappropriate exposure or activity of sex hormones in-utero has been postulated as a leading cause for the development of hypospadias and cryptorchidism. Anthropometric sexually dimorphic traits such as the 2nd to 4th digit ratio (2D:4D), anogenital distance (AGD) and the stretched penile length (SPL), have been associated with androgen and estrogen activity in-utero. Purpose: Evaluate anthropometric parameters in patients with hypospadias or cryptorchidism compared with healthy controls. Materials and methods: This is a case control study of male patients operated on between 2019 and 2020. Three groups were included: Hypospadias, cryptorchidism and a demographically similar control group. Anthropometric parameters 2D:4D, AGD and SPL were measured intra-operatively and compared between the groups. Results: Included in the study were 179 pediatric patients between the ages of 9-15 months (58 patients with hypospadias, 69 with cryptorchidism and 47 controls). There was no difference in AGD, 2D:4D and SPL between patients with cryptorchidism, hypospadias and controls. Conclusions: Anthropometric characteristics associated with androgen activity in utero were not different in patients with hypospadias and cryptorchidism compared with controls.
期刊介绍:
AA is an international journal of human biology. It publishes original research papers on all fields of human biological research, that is, on all aspects, theoretical and practical of studies of human variability, including application of molecular methods and their tangents to cultural and social anthropology. Other than research papers, AA invites the submission of case studies, reviews, technical notes and short reports. AA is available online, papers must be submitted online to ensure rapid review and publication.
