Introduction: We hypothesised that Sertoli cell function is impaired in boys with absence of puberty due to hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (HH), but not in constitutional delay of puberty (CDP). No long-term follow-up prospective study with an ascertained final diagnosis of CDP or HH has studied Sertoli cell markers. Subjects and Methods: In a multinational prospective study,all boys referred for absence of puberty (testicular
