Constitutively active luteinizing hormone receptors: consequences of in vivo expression.

Abstract excerpt

Activating mutations in the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) gene are one of the most common mutations found in the gonadotropin receptor genes. Human males with these mutations exhibit precocious puberty while females do not have an obvious phenotype. To better understand the pathophysiology of premature LHR activation, transgenic mice have been generated with an activating mutation in LHR and a genetically...
