The precise development of the Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) neurons is essential for the proper function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, as GnRH is the master regulator of reproductive functions in vertebrates. Mutations in genes involved in the development of GnRH neurons are associated with Congenital Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (CHH), a heterogeneous genetic disorder characterized by hypogonadism, lack of puberty onset, and infertility, which is named...

Loss of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and cognitive deficits have recently been demonstrated by our group in conditions including Down syndrome and Alzhiemer’s disease. In some patients with COVID-19, olfactory and cognitive alterations persist, and persistent hypotestosteronemia in SARS-CoV-2-infected men could be a consequence of deficient GnRH. To understand whether neuroinvasion of GnRH system by SARS-CoV-2 could explain some post-COVID symptoms and thus resul...
