Anogenital distance and penile length in infants with hypospadias or cryptorchidism: comparison with normative data.

abstract：:An impressive array of evidence has been obtained during the past decade establishing correlations between specific DNA adducts and carcinogenesis. Many of the studies utilized organ specific differences in carcinogenesis to establish the correlations. More recently, we have investigated similar relationships between ...
