Abstract: Objective: Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) is a rare genetic disease caused by GnRH deficiency and characterized by absent or incomplete puberty with infertility. The identification of the genetic cause in this group of patients through the use of next generation sequencing (NGS) can assist to the clinical management.Methods: Seven GnRH deficient nonrelated Cypriot probands were ...
