Abstract excerpt
Fourteen mutations (13 missense and 1 truncation) of the GnRH receptor (GnRHR) have been identified in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH). We have previously shown that five of the missense mutations can be rescued with a GnRH peptidomimetic antagonist that acts as folding template, stabilizing (otherwise) misfolded GnRHR mutants and thereby restoring function. We now report that this approach...
