Hypogonadism Genetic Markers

Meaning

Hypogonadism Genetic Markers are specific genetic variants that increase an individual’s susceptibility to developing primary or secondary hypogonadism, a clinical condition characterized by deficient sex hormone production by the gonads. These markers may indicate predispositions to defects in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis signaling, gonadal enzyme function, or hormone receptor sensitivity. Identifying these genetic factors offers a precision-based approach to early risk stratification and personalized management strategies for testosterone or estrogen deficiency.
