Abstract
Context: Variants in bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) have been reported in patients with hypospadias. Here we report and analyze two variants in the BMP7 prodomain in monozygotic twins with hypospadias. Materials and Methods: Patients with hypospadias were prospectively recruited. After informed consent was obtained, DNA was extracted from blood. The coding regions of 1034 genes [including 64 known diagnostic genes and candidate genes for disorder/difference of sex development (DSD)] were sequenced using a targeted capture approach (HaloPlex, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA), combined with massively parallel sequencing. The resulting variants were filtered for rarity in the general population (..
