The goal of this study was to further define the association between this specific <jats:italic>ESR1<\/jats:italic> haplotype and the risk for nonsyndromic cryptorchidism in a multiracial American population including Caucasian, African American, and Asian American subjects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Applied Biosystems TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays were used to identify the genotypes of the five SNPs in <jats:italic>ESR1<\/jats:italic> in 152 nonsyndromic cryptorchidism cases and 160 healthy controls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>For the five SNPs, there were no significant differences in genotype frequencies between cases and controls. The four estimated haplotypes at the 3\u2032 region of <jats:italic>ESR1<\/jats:italic> gene were also not associated with the occurrence of cryptorchidism, but the haplotype AGATC was associated with the severity of cryptorchidism. SNP12 (rs6932902) in <jats:italic>ESR1<\/jats:italic> was not associated with cryptorchidism per se, but was associated with increasing severity of cryptorchidism. Severe cases were more likely to have GG genotype (93%) than moderate (54%) cases (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = .04), and this association was in recessive mode (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = .02). The allele distribution of this SNP was also significantly different between moderate and severe cases: 97% of severe cases had the G allele while only 76% of moderate cases had the G allele (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = .03).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>SNP12 in <jats:italic>ESR1<\/jats:italic> is not associated with the occurrence of cryptorchidism but is associated with the severity of cryptorchidism.
