Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Congenital Male Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (CMHH) is a causative disorder of infertility, 70% of the cause of which however is unknown yet. The therapeutic guidelines in consideration of prospective fertilities have not been established.To establish new diagnostic methods and therapeutic guidelines for CMHH, we analyzed mutational genes along with clinical data, applying next-generation sequencer to 41 CMHH patients. As a result, we identified ten mutations, and simultaneously found that one of the FGF-network-associated-gene’s variations may cause nerve developmental disabilities and that a preemptive rFSH therapy provided prior to a gonadotropin therapy (GT) improves spermatogenesis and symptom of prognosis after the therapy. The outcome above suggests that NGS is an efficient method to diagnose CMHH with genetic heterogeneity and that the new protocol giving preemptive rFSH therapy prior to GT is effective to obtain favorable fertility.
