Clinical Trial Summary

Cryptorchidism is the most frequent congenital defect of the male newborn. It requires surgery in childhood, increases the risk of fertility disorders and cancer. As a major public health objective, it's the subject of numerous recommendations. Its frequency is increasing in some countries faster than a single genetic cause could not explain it. It may occurs in a geographic cluster. The cause of cryptorchidism involves genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. Animal studies suggest that endocrine disruptors interfere with fetal testicular migration. The aim of the study is to find out if some environmental exposition may be associated with cryptorchidism.
