Brief description Testicular cancer is the most common type of cancer in men aged 20-40 years, and its incidence has doubled in the last 30 years. It is sometimes fetal and often results in infertility. We have discovered new genes that regulate testicular cell behaviour in the developing fetus, and here test the concept that defects in these genes might disrupt cell behaviour to the point where cancers form during adult life. Outcomes may lead to new ways to diagnose and treat testicular cancers.
