Abstract excerpt
In the present study, we demonstrate pharmacological rescue (assessed by ligand binding and restoration of receptor coupling to effector) of five naturally occurring GnRH receptor (GnRHR) mutants (T(32)I, E(90)K, C(200)Y, C(279)Y, and L(266)R), identified from patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, as well as rescue of other defective receptors intentionally manufactured with internal or terminal deletions...
