Abstract
Clinical findings and endocrine studies are reported concerning six subjects (from two pedigrees) suffering from isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Their complete lack of any gonadotropin response to clomiphene stimulation, together with positive responses of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) to LH-releasing-hormone stimulation (LH-RH) provide evidence for a hypothalamic basis for this disorder. Additional data are presented indicating that variables such as circulating estrogen levels may influence the gonadotropin response to LH-RH.Entities:
