Introduction: Inactivating mutations in LH or FSH receptors (R) are known causes of gonadotrophins resistance.Aim: This study aims at evaluating the presence of mutations and polymorphisms of FSHR and LHR and sperm quality in men with hypergonadotropic hypogonadism without obvious testicular noxa.Patients and methods: We selected 8 males with elevated levels of FSH and/or LH and normal levels of testosterone. Sperm parameters were ...
