Introduction: The activity of functional receptors with the stimulation of androgenes plays a role in the differentiation of male internal and external genitals. Homeobox (Hox) genes regulate the development of the limbs, such as the hands and leg fingers during embryogenesis, differentiation of the genital spine, the development of the testicles and the penis. In these genes mutations are symptoms affected by both the fingers and the genital system. Studies have shown that the second and fourth finger length rates are associated with the prenatal testosterone levels, and that it is not associated with the adult testosterone levels. In our study, our goal is to evaluate the relationship between 2-4 finger ratio and penis length and testicular volume in boys who apply for sunset in our hospital over 2 years of age. Materials and Methods: 125 boys who apply for the synthesis between 2016-2017 years were taken to work. Hypospadias, immature testicles, hydrosel, genital or scrotal surgical history, children with endocrine diseases are not included. The size and size of all children were measured and the body mass index, the size and weight growth percentages were calculated. Penis and finger lengths and testicular volume de-evaluations were performed after general anesthesia in the preoperative hospital. The penile and finger length measurements were carried out with the long-lasting curve (vernierca-liper) and the testis volume assessment was made with prader orchidometry. Results: The average age of children attended to study was 7.33±1.22. The result was significant with the right 4th finger length, the right 2/4 finger ratio and the left 2/4 finger ratio (p=0,001). It was found to be correlated with the right 4th finger length, the right 2/4 finger ratio and the left 2/4 finger ratio (p<0,05, p<0,05, p=0,001). A significant correlation was observed between the total volume of the testicle and both the light and tension penis length (p<0,05, p=0,001). Result: There are many studies in literature created with different hypotheses about the length and proportions of the fingers. But in our work, in addition to the results compatible with literature, we have achieved different results, even in part. It is believed that the 2/4 finger ratio can be an indicator for both loose and stressful penis length.
