The Molecular Basis of Inherited Reproductive Disorders

July 31, 2023 updated by: Stephanie B. Seminara, MD
The goal of this study is to learn more about the genes that control puberty and reproduction in humans.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

All study subjects will undergo the same activities. Subjects will provide up to five tubes of blood for genetic analysis, complete a smell test, and answer questions about their health and family history.

  • Abnormally early development of puberty or,
  • Normal puberty with subsequent development of low gonadotropin levels or,
  • Evidence of a reproductive disorder with high gonadotropin levels or,
  • Pre-pubertal individuals with features suggestive of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism or,
  • Affected and unaffected family members of individuals that fit criteria above
