Abstract excerpt
Failure of the normal pattern of episodic secretion of GnRH from the hypothalamus results in the clinical syndrome of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH), with failure of pubertal development and infertility. The only gene that has been implicated in normosmic IHH is the GnRH receptor gene (GNRHR), which accounts for 10% of cases. This report presents four families with autosomal recessive IHH,...
