Brief description There is growing concern in increasing male reproductive congenital anomalies diagnosed at birth & testicular cancer in adulthood. Research suggests these conditions share a common origin due to disruption in the release of male hormones in early pregnancy. This study will use a novel method of record-linkage to investigate maternal and infant risk factors and their combined effect on male reproductive disorders at birth and later in life; & assess long-term health and fertility of these males.
