This study involves record linkage of birth, birth defects, hospital, deaths and cancer data; with links to genealogy data to identify links between families. It will include the analysis of NSW and Western Australia (WA) population health data. The AIMS of the study are to:

Identify antecedents of male reproductive congenital anomalies (hypospadias and cryptorchidism) and testicular cancer; including maternal and prenatal factors, familial aggregation and their combined role

Identify antecedents of testicular cancer; including maternal, prenatal and familial factors and taking into account intermediary effects of hypospadias and cryptorchidism

Describe the health outcomes and subsequent fertility (births) among males previously diagnosed with reproductive congenital anomalies or testicular cancer
