Paediatric germ cell tumours and congenital abnormalities: a Children's Oncology Group study

Methods:Maternally reported congenital abnormalities (CAs) were examined in a case–control study of 278 cases of paediatric germ cell tumours (GCTs) and 423 controls.Results and conclusionsGerm cell tumours were significantly associated with cryptorchidism in males (OR=10.8, 95% CI: 2.1–55.1), but not with any other specific CA in either sex.
