CONTEXT: We have previously reported that a specific "AGATC" haplotype in a >34 kb tight linkage disequilibrium (LD) block within ESR1 is strongly associated with cryptorchidism and hypospadias in Japanese boys.
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the true susceptibility factor for cryptorchidism and hypospadias linked to the "AGATC" haplotype.
METHODS: We performed various molecular studies in hitherto unreported 230 Italian boys (80 with cryptorchidism and 150 with normal genitalia) and previously reported and newly recruited 415 Japanese boys (149 with cryptorchidism, 141 with hypospadias, and 125 with normal genitalia). We also performed ESR1 expression analyses using breast cancer-derived MCF-7 cells.
RESULTS: Haplotype analysis revealed the LD block and positive association of the "AGATC" haplotype with cryptorchidism in Italian boys. Whole genome sequencing identified an identical 2249-bp microdeletion (ΔESR1) generated by a microhomology-mediated replication error in both Japanese and Italian boys with the specific haplotype. ΔESR1 was found to be strongly associated with cryptorchidism and hypospadias by Cochran-Armitage trend test and was revealed to show nearly absolute LD with the "AGATC" haplotype. ESR1 expression was upregulated in MCF-7 cells with a homozygous deletion encompassing ΔESR1 and those with a homozygous deletion involving a CTCF-binding site within ΔESR1.
CONCLUSION: The results reveal that ΔESR1, which has been registered as "DEL_6_75504" in gnomAD SVs v2.1, is the true susceptibility factor for cryptorchidism and hypospadias. It appears that ΔESR1 was produced in a single ancestral founder of modern humans and has been maintained within the genome of multiple ethnic groups by selection.
