Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is due to impaired gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) action resulting in absent puberty and infertility. At least 44 genes have been identified to possess genetic variants in 40-50% of nHH/KS, and 2-20% have presumed digenic disease, but not all variants have been characterized in vitro. HYPOTHESIS: The prevalence of pathogenic (P)/likely pathogenic (LP) variants...
