title: Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism in Roifman syndrome.
abstract: The combination of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, humoral immune deficiency, growth retardation, intellectual deficit and characteristic facial dysmorphism has recently been delineated as a discrete disorder thus far only reported in males. This report describes a fifth individual with co-existent hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, thereby expanding the phenotype and possibly offering insight into the genetic aetiology of this condition.
