a

Age at presentation for delayed puberty. Subjects under the age of 18 were re-evaluated after the age of 18 to confirm the diagnosis of IHH, which was further re-confirmed for subjects 1–11 through participation in this study. Subjects 3 and 6 had been followed from birth due to cryporchidism and therefore presented at an earlier age.

b

Variants are listed if they were predicted to be deleterious by at least three out of four prediction programs.

c

Change in LH amplitude in response to GnRH is peak LH - baseline LH in response to 75 ng/kg bolus of intravenous GnRH prior to pituitary priming.

d

This subject attained serum testosterone in normal adult range in the absence of exogenous treatment. BMI, body mass index; KS, Kallmann syndrome; nIHH, normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism; NA, not applicable; OCP, oral contraceptive pills; T, testosterone; TV, testicular volume.
