Identification of three novel mutations in the KAL1 gene in patients with Kallmann syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Kallmann's syndrome (KS) is characterized by the association of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia. Genetic defects have been observed throughout the KAL1 gene, located on the Xp22.3 region, in less than 50% of the patients. We report the molecular study of the KAL1 gene in 12 males with KS. PCR of the 14 exons of the KAL1 gene was performed on genomic DNA. PCR products of all exons were...
