Abstract excerpt
GnRH regulates the synthesis and release of pituitary gonadotropins. Mutations in the human GnRH receptor (hGnRHR) gene have been reported in families with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Our group recently described a novel homozygous E(90)K mutation of the hGnRHR in two siblings with the complete form of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. In the present study, mutational analysis of the E(90)K substitution was...
