Nonsense Mutations inFGF8Gene Causing Different Degrees of Human Gonadotropin-Releasing Deficiency
13 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: FGFR1 mutations cause isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) with or without olfactory abnormalities, Kallmann syndrome, and normosmic IHH respectively. Recently, missense mutations in FGF8, a key ligand for fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 1 in the ontogenesis of GnRH, were identified in IHH patients, thus establishing FGF8 as a novel locus for human GnRH deficiency. OBJECTIVE: Our...
