Abstract excerpt
Kallmann syndrome is a developmental disease that combines hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia. Putative loss-of-function mutations in PROKR2 or PROK2, encoding prokineticin receptor-2 (a G protein-coupled receptor), and one of its ligands, prokineticin-2, respectively, have recently been reported in approximately 10% of Kallmann syndrome affected individuals. Notably, given PROKR2 mutations were found in...
