Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether women with idiopathic hypergonadotropic amenorrhea have unique alterations in the FSH receptor gene that could account for reduced activity. DESIGN: Compare FSH receptor genes of affected women with normally menstruating control subjects. SETTING: Center for Reprod...
