Patients with hypospadias consistently showed aberrant immunohistochemical staining patterns for FGF8/FGF10/FGFR2 in epidermis and dermis compared to patients without penile malformation (p < 0.01 for all markers). qPCR displayed no difference in expression levels on mRNA level (FGFR2 p = 0.44, FGF8 p = 0.77, and FGF10 p = 0.17) comparing normal foreskin with foreskin from patients with hypospadias.Figure.
