[Hypogonadism due to LH deficiency].

Bulletin et memoires de l'Academie royale de medecine de Belgique - 1 Jan 2007

Beckers A

Abstract excerpt

A 30-year-old man was investigated for delayed puberty and infertility. These investigations showed a complete absence of circulating luteinizing hormone (LH). Genetic studies revealed a missense mutation in the LHbeta gene (G36D). This mutation disrupts a vital cystine knot motif and abrogates the heterodimerization and secretion of LH. Treatment with hCG was instituted, which led to arise in testosterone and...
