Leydig cell hypoplasia (LCH) is a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism caused by inactivating mutations in the luteinizing hormone receptor gene (LHCGR). The majority of LHCGR mutations are located in the coding sequence, resulting in impairment of either LH/CG binding or signal transduction. We report a Chinese family with two siblings (46, XY and 46, XX) carrying a missense mutation (c. 455 T>C, p. Ile152Thr) and a splice site mutation (c. 537-3 C>A). Computational analysis of the missense mutation in the three-dimensional structural model predicted it might influence the distribution of hydrogen bonds and intermolecular contacts between the hormone and receptor. Consistent with these findings, in vitro mutant analysis revealed a marked impairment of human chorionic gonadotropin binding and signal transduction. The splice-acceptor mutation (c. 537-3 C>A) resulted in abnormal splicing of LHCGR mRNA, skipping exon 7. This report expands the genotypic spectrum of LHCGR mutations, with relevant implications for the molecular analysis of this gene.
