Abstract
The presence or absence of 33 DNA loci was investigated with a focus on the long arm of Y chromosome (Yq) interval 6 involving the DAZ and RBM genes, by means of a polymerase chain reaction strategy, in 10 patients with hypos padias. All patients did not show any of the 33 DNA loci. It would appear t hat chordee without hypospadias does not involve interval 6 of the Y chromo some.
