Mutational analysis of DAX1 in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism or pubertal delay [PDF]
Although delayed puberty is relatively common and often familial, its molecular and pathophysiologic basis is poorly understood. In contrast, the molecular mechanisms underlying some forms of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) are clearer, following the ...
