Zusammenfassung:	Anogential distance (AGD) and the 2:4 digit length ratio appear to provide a reliable guide to fetal androgen exposure. We intended to investigate the current status of penile size and the relationship between penile length and AGD or digit length according to birth weight in Korean newborn infants. Between May 2013 and February 2014, among a total of 78 newborn male infants, 55 infants were prospectively included in this study.
