Pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 associated with chordee without hypospadia.
We report a case of pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 associated with chordee without hypospadia. Plasma levels of LH and testosterone were within normal ranges, but the plasma FSH level was slightly elevated. The LH response to LH-RH stimulation and the response of plasma testosterone to HCG were normal. However, the administration of LH-RH induced an abnormally low response of plasma FSH.
