title: Absence of Y chromosome microdeletions involving the DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) and RBM (ribonucleic acid-binding motif) genes in patients with chordee without hypospadias.
abstract: The presence or absence of 33 DNA loci was investigated with a focus on the long arm of Y chromosome (Yq) interval 6 involving the DAZ and RBM genes, by means of a polymerase chain reaction strategy, in 10 patients with hypospadias. All patients did not show any of the 33 DNA loci. It would appear that chordee without hypospadias does not involve interval 6 of the Y chromosome.
