  • Title: Pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias: genetic heterogeneity.
    Author: Keenan BS.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1980 Jun; 7(2):393-407. PubMed ID: 6105737.
    Abstract:
    Defects in either the production or the action of androgenic steroids have been demonstrated to cause pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias, a syndrome of male hermaphoditism. The ability to make a rapid, specific biochemical diagnosis in an infant with this syndrome, and thus to predict the infant's response to androgens, could be a valuable aid in the assignment of sex to an infant with ambiguous external genitalia.
