Prepuberal-onset HH (PRHH) and postpuberal-onset HH (PSHH) men required GnTh by means of administration of both the β human chorionic gonodadotropin (ηHCG) and the FSH to induce a complete spermatogenesis. However, the response to GnTh is always unpredictable concerning either the effectiveness or the duration of the therapy. Consequently, different studies have been carried out to identify clinical and biochemical markers that can be useful to predict the effectiven...
