Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism is characterized by low levels of sex hormones and increased gonadotropins in females with a 46XX karyotype. In girls, puberty is delayed, and in initially inconspicuous women hypergonadotropic hypogonadism leads to primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), which is defined by development before age 40 resembling menopause. In addition to infertility, women with POI are at increased risk for a number of comorbidities, including osteoporosis as well as increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The genetic disorders rarely include (a late diagnosed) 45X Turner syndrome, more commonly pre-mutations in the Fragile X Mental Retardation Type 1 (FMR1) gene in up to 15% of cases, but also monogenic syndromic or non-syndromic disorders. Two thirds of these cases remain primarily unexplained, although idiopathic hypergonadotropic hypogonadism may be associated with mutations in a variety of different genes. Using NGS approaches genetic alterations may be detected in up to 25% of cases with female hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Therefore, a negative molecular genetic finding excludes by no means the clinical diagnosis.
