LHCGR
LHCGR encodes the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor, a G-protein-coupled receptor on ovarian theca and granulosa cells (and testicular Leydig cells) that binds LH and hCG to trigger androgen and progesterone synthesis and ovulation. Variants near LHCGR, such as rs13405728, are associated with polycystic ovary syndrome risk, consistent with the receptor's central role in ovarian steroidogenesis and follicle regulation.
