NCT ID NCT04342026
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether parents' exposure to certain chemicals (endocrine disruptors) in their jobs or during pregnancy is linked to cryptorchidism (undescended testicles) in male children. Researchers will compare exposure levels between parents of boys with and without the condition. The goal is to better understand environmental causes of this common birth defect.
