Many of the phenotypic effects observed have been expected on the basis of the existing information about gonadotrophin action (e.g. delayed puberty), but also many unexpected findings have been made, including the lack of phenotype in women with activating LHR mutations, and the discrepancy in phenotypes of men with inactivating mutations of FSHbeta (azoospermia and infertility) and FSHR (oligozoospermia and subfertility).
