Abstract

Four siblings with classic Bardet-Biedl syndrome were studied. The brother had hypogonadism of testicular origin, with high gonadotropin levels and exaggerated responses to luteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone, whereas the 3 sisters showed a normal hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. The remaining pituitary hormone function was intact.
