Objective: To report the clinical, hormonal, and molecular features of a female adolescent with selective FSH deficiency. In addition, a complete review of previous cases is provided, focusing on hormonal aspects.Design: Clinical study.Setting: University hospital.Patient(s): A 16-year-old girl with primary amenorrhea and poor breast development due to isolated FSH deficiency.Intervention(S): Blood drawing before and after GnRH stimulation and pelvic ultrasound examination.Main Outcome Measure(S): Gonadotropin and E-2 Measurements and sequencing of the FSH beta-subunit gene.Result(s): The patient was referred for primary amenorrhea and partial breast development (Tanner III). Her basal and GnRH-stimulated LH levels were elevated (31 IU/L and 98 IU/L, respectively), whereas her FSH levels were undetectable (
