NCIt definition : Human LHCGR wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2p16.3 and is approximately
69 kb in length. This allele, which encodes lutropin-choriogonadotropic hormone receptor
protein, is involved in binding luteinizing hormone and choriogonadotropin and G protein-coupled
receptor signaling. Mutation of the gene is associated with luteinizing hormone resistance
in females, precocious puberty in males, somatic Leydig cell adenoma with precocious
puberty and Leydig cell hypoplasia with either pseudohermaphroditism or hypergonadotropic
hypogonadism.;
