Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism in Roifman syndrome

Clin Genet. 2000 Jun;57(6):435-8. doi: 10.1034/j.1399-0004.2000.570606.x.

Abstract

The combination of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, humoral immune deficiency, growth retardation, intellectual deficit and characteristic facial dysmorphism has recently been delineated as a discrete disorder thus far only reported in males. This report describes a fifth individual with co-existent hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, thereby expanding the phenotype and possibly offering insight into the genetic aetiology of this condition.
