Background: Hypospadias is a relatively common form of 46,XY disorders of sex development. Although several genes have been implicated in the development of hypospadias, molecular basis of the majority of cases remain unknown. Recently, targeted disruption of lysine-specific demethylase 3A (KDM3A) were shown to cause defective sex development in male mice.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of this study was to clarify whether KDM3A mutations underlie hypo...
