1 Inhibin B and the hCG-induced testosterone increment correlated strongly (r = 0.84; P<0.0001). Testosterone hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) Homo sapiens
2 Inhibin B and the testosterone response to hCG were low in boys with testicular damage (delayed diagnosis of cryptorchidism; after testicular torsion) and in patients with gonadal dysgenesis, but were normal or increased in children with androgen insensitivity syndrome. Testosterone hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) Homo sapiens
3 We conclude that basal inhibin B predicts the testosterone response to hCG in boys and therefore gives reliable information about both the presence and function of the testes. Testosterone hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) Homo sapiens
