Brief summary: In this in vivo study, Xia et al. demonstrate that AAV-mediated gene therapy recovers testosterone levels, restarts sexual development, restores spermatogenesis, and produces fertile offspring in a mouse model of Leydig cell failure (LCF).A null mutation in the gene encoding luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotrophin receptor (Lhcgr) causes a hereditary LCF in mice which is characterized by a reduction in testosterone levels...
