Etiology, histology, and long-term outcome of bilateral testicular regression: a large Belgian series
STUDY QUESTION: What is the long-term outcome of individuals born with bilateral testicular regression (BTR) in relation to its underlying etiology? SUMMARY ANSWER: Statural growth and pubertal development are adequate with incremental doses of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT); however, penile growth is often suboptimal, especially in those with a suspected genetic etiology (i.e. heterozygous DHX37 variants) or a micropenis at birth.
