Disease
[FSHB_HUMAN] Defects in FSHB are a cause of isolated follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency (IFSHD) [MIM:229070]. Selective follicle-stimulating hormone deficiency is an uncommon cause of infertility, producing amenorrhea and hypogonadism in women and oligo or azoospermia with normal testosterone levels in normally virilised men.[1][2][3]
Function
[FSHB_HUMAN] Stimulates development of follicle and spermatogenesis in the reproductive organs.
