Evidence that luteinising hormone receptor polymorphisms may contribute to male undermasculinisation.

European journal of endocrinology - 1 Jul 2002

Mongan Nigel P, Hughes Ieuan A, Lim Han N

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The luteinising hormone receptor (LHR) is necessary for the stimulation of androgen production and male genital development. It contains three protein polymorphisms: a leucine and glutamine insertion between codons 8 and 9 (LQ+) and two amino acid substitutions (N291S, N312S). OBJECTIVES: To determine whether these LHR polymorphisms are associated with male genital undermasculinisation or the androgen...
