Luteinizing hormone insensitivity (https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0002864)




Identifier
homoit0002864
Preferred Label
Luteinizing hormone insensitivity
English
Description
People with XY chromosomes and luteinizing hormone insensitivity develop the variation Leydig cell hypoplasiae. Because people with XX chromosomes do not typically produce Leydig cells to begin with, someone with XX chromosomes who has a genetic insensitivity to luteinizing hormone will not be affected in the same way. A person with XX chromosomes whose body does not respond to luteinizing hormone will not usually have any noticeable differences at birth, but their ovaries may not produce fertile follicles (eggs), and they may not menstruate.
