Targets

LH receptor
Comments:  A number of activating single nucleotide polymorphisms have been identified in the human LHCGR gene, encoding constitutively active LH receptors mutated in their transmembrane domain. In a heterozygous male individual, the result is very early precocious puberty (familial male-limited precocious puberty or testotoxicosis). Mutations do not appear to have effects in girls or women. Adult males are normal.
