Abstract excerpt
Gonadotropin hormones undergo important dynamic changes during life. Their rise during puberty stimulates gonadal steroid secretion, triggering the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the acquisition of fertility. The full spectrum of possible mutations and polymorphisms in the human gonadotropins and in their receptor genes has been described in recent years. Patients harboring these mutations...
