AI-generated summary
Mutations in the GPR54 receptor were identified in patients with idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, establishing it as a key regulator of reproductive function and GnRH secretion.

Abstract
In order to find novel modulators of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion, genetic tools were employed in patients with idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (IHH). Mutations in a G-protein coupled receptor, GPR54, were identified, making this receptor a genetic determinant and indisputable gatekeeper of normal reproductive function. This article places these investigations into historical context and reviews some of the new findings relevant to this pathway.
