Abstract excerpt
The Authors considered the relationship between hypogonadism in myotonic dystrophy (MD) and MT-PK gene mutation. Twenty-seven subjects were studied, and the (CTG)n amplification varied from 70 to 1520 (mean 661 +/- 463). Hypergonadotropic-hypogonadism with LH levels of 6.94 +/- 3.87 and FSH 14.54...
