[Chromosome abnormalities in hypospadias? An analysis of 131 patients].
We performed chromosome studies in 131 patients presenting with hypospadias, with the aim of detecting any causal connections between chromosomal abnormalities and the induction of hypospadias. Autosomal abnormalities were revealed in 6 and sex chromosomal abnormalities in 10 patients. Although a significant causal relationship between the occurrence of hypospadias and chromosomal abnormalities was seen in this study in only two cases of mixed gonadal dysgenesis (45,X/46,XY and streak gonad), the high incidence of chromosomal abnormalities observed (12.2%) seems noteworthy compared with the incidence of only 0.61% in the normal male population.
