TY - JOUR T1 - Reduced birth weight in boys with hypospadias: an index of androgen dysfunction? JF - Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition JO - Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed SP - F150 LP - F151 DO - 10.1136/fn.87.2.F150 VL - 87 IS - 2 AU - I A Hughes AU - K Northstone AU - J Golding Y1 - 2002/09/01 UR - http://fn.bmj.com/content/87/2/F150.abstract N2 - Anthropometric birth measurements analysed for 51 boys with hypospadias identified in a prospective cohort study showed significant reductions in mean values for birth weight, length, and head circumference compared with controls. The absence of the usual sex dimorphism for these variables suggests that the results represent a marker of fetal androgen dysfunction in this subgroup of infants. ER -
