Gene variants and mutations proposed to be pathogenic in hypospadias. Genes are grouped into signalling pathways. The cDNA or amino acid changes and the inheritance are indicated based on the original publication. The phenotype of the patient(s) carrying these variants is indicated. The references are shown for each study. hemi = Hemizygous; het = heterozygous; hom = homozygous.
