OBJECTIVE: To characterize the phenotype, modes of inheritance, karyotype, and molecular basis of patients with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH).
DESIGN: Review of medical records, karyotyping, and collation of gene mutation analysis.
SETTING: University molecular reproductive endocrinology laboratory.
PATIENT(S): Patients with IHH.
INTERVENTION(S): Review of medical records, laboratory studies, and molecular studies.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Sense of smell, severity of IHH (complete vs. incomplete), associated anomalies, karyotype, mutation analysis, and genotype/phenotype correlations were studied.
RESULT(S): Of 315 patients with IHH, 6.3% had one or more affected relatives. Autosomal recessive inheritance was likely in most of these familial cases, but autosomal-dominant and X-linked recessive inheritance patterns were likely in some families. Complete IHH was more commonly found in males (62%), whereas incomplete IHH was more commonly observed in females (54.3%). Anosmia was present in 31.3% of males and 27.9% of females. The karyotype was normal in all 19 females tested, but was abnormal in 3 of 57 (5.3%) of males tested. Although cryptorchidism did not differ among those who were anosmic vs. normosmic, it was approximately four times more common in patients with complete IHH than incomplete IHH (15.3% vs. 3.9%). Approximately 10% of the IHH patients tested had mutations in either the GNRHR or KAL1 gene.
CONCLUSION(S): Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is a heterogeneous disorder affecting fertility, in which the number of familial cases is probably underestimated. Further study of genes that regulate hypothalamic-pituitary development and function will likely reveal important information regarding the development of normal puberty in humans.
