Inactivating mutations of LH and FSH receptors--from genotype to phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

The pituitary glycoprotein hormones, LH and FSH, and their receptors are essential for normal reproductive function in both sexes. Over the past 10 years, several inactivating mutations of the gonadotropin receptors have been described in rare forms of human primary gonadal disorders. Homozygous or compound heterozygous inactivating mutations of the LH receptor were associated with a rare autosomal recessive form...
