Abstract

Cryptorchidism is the most common birth defect in boys and requires surgical treatment in ca. one percent of boys. Increased risk of fertility problems and testicular cancer are the long-term worries following cryptorchidism. Frontiers of Endocrinology is publishing a series of articles summarizing the current knowledge on this condition and future research needs. We here sum up some of the main messages of the reviews and the original genetic study.
