title: ESR1 promoter polymorphism is not associated with nonsyndromic cryptorchidism.
abstract: The ESR1 promoter microsatellite (TA)n was reported as a potential functional polymorphism. In a case-control study, we were unable to demonstrate any association between (TA)n and nonsyndromic cryptorchidism in Italian and Spanish study populations.
