Introduction: TAC3/TACR3 mutations have been reported in normosmic congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nCHH). In the absence of animal models, studies of human neuroendocrine phenotypes associated with neurokinin B and NK3R receptor dysfunction can help to decipher the pathophysiology of this signaling pathway. Our objective was to characterize novel TACR3 mutations and to analyze neuroendocrine profiles in nCHH patients with TAC3/TACR3 biallelic mut...
