No gene has been identified that causes isolated hypospadias, but the androgenic influence is important during male genital development.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Objective: A key enzyme for the androgenic function is steroid 5-\u03b1-reductase (SRD5A2). The V89L polymorphism in the SRD5A2 gene has been studied and found to be of functional importance. The leucine version of the enzyme is 30% less efficient than the valine variant.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Design, Setting, Patients, and Results: We have genotyped 158 hypospadias cases and 96 unaffected controls for this polymorphism and found a significant negative association for the V89 allele in hypospadias (odds ratio, 0.24; 95% confidence interval, 0.14\u20130.41 for homozygous individuals). This indicates that a fully functional 5-\u03b1-reductase enzyme (homozygous for V89) protects the male urethral development. This association is shown regardless of heredity, ethnicity, and severity of phenotype. We have also sequenced a selected material of 37 sporadic cases of more severe hypospadias for mutations in the androgen receptor AR, SRD5A2, and 17\u03b2-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase HSD17B3 genes and found only two previously described mutations, one in the AR and one in the SRD5A2 gene.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusion: This finding is in accordance with the assumption that functional polymorphisms may play an important role in complex disorders such as hypospadias when several genes as well as environmental factors contribute to the etiology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2005-0446","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,5]],"date-time":"2005-12-05T23:38:01Z","timestamp":1133825881000},"page":"6695-6698","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["The Valine Allele of the V89L Polymorphism in the 5-\u03b1-Reductase Gene Confers a Reduced Risk for Hypospadias"],"prefix":"10.1210","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Hanh T.
