Özet

Objectives: Hypogonadism is defined as inadequate sex hormone production due to defects in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. In recent years, rare single gene defects have been identified in both hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (Hh), and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) cases with no chromosomal anomalies. The aim of the present study is to investigate the underlying molecular genetic etiology and the genotype-phenotype relationship of a series of patients with Hh and HH.
