Abstract excerpt
Testotoxicosis is a form of male precocious puberty caused by heterogeneous activating mutations in the gene for the lutrophin/choriogonadotrophin receptor (LHR). A patient with an unusually early and severe presentation of testotoxicosis, including profound Leydig cell hyperplasia, was found to have a sporadic mutation encoding Asp578-->Tyr. The severe testotoxicosis phenotype appears to be related to the...
