Cytogenetic and endocrine studies were performed in five unrelated 45,X/46,XY individuals in an attempt to correlate them with their clinical expression and gonadal morphology. A lack of a consistent pattern between cytogenetic findings and phenotype was observed. Endocrine studies revealed a wide spectrum of hypothalamic, pituitary, and gonadal hormone production as assessed by the base line levels of LH, FSH, T, and delta 4-A and their responses to appropriate exogenous stimulation (LH-RH and HCG). An adequate correlation between endocrine findings with gonadal morphology and phenotype could be established; thus demonstrating that patients with this particular chromosome complement have a functional integrity of the gonadotropin hypothalamic pituitary activity modulated accordingly with the gonadal function of each particular case.

D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
