Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and renal failure due to WT1 mutation.
Puberty is frequently delayed in adolescent patients with chronic renal failure, due to temporarily insufficient hypothalamo-pituitary stimulation of the gonads. In these patients, basal levels of gonadotropins are normal or slightly elevated due to increased plasma half-life of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) [1]. However, the response to gonadotropin releasing ...

متن کاملHypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to GnRH receptor mutation in a sibling.
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is characterised by delayed puberty and infertility. Congenital HH comprises Kallmann syndrome with hypo-/anosmia and idiopathic HH (IHH). The genetic origin remains unknown in most cases, but the defective GnRH receptor gene (GNRHR) accounts for a considerable proportion of IHH. Here we describe a pair of siblings diagnosed with IHH. Aged 17 years, the boy wa...
