Placental Weight and Male Genital Anomalies: A Nationwide Danish Cohort Study.

In conclusion, we found higher risks of both genital malformations in boys born with a low placental weight. The relationship seemed stronger for hypospadias than for cryptorchidism. Taken together, our data support a role for placental dysfunction in the etiology of these anomalies. PMID: 27257113 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
