PURPOSE: Loss-of-function mutations in FGFR1 have been identified in approximately 10% of the Kallmann syndrome (KS) patients. Previous reports have focused mainly on olfactory, reproductive, and some other features such as cleft lip/palate and dental agenesis. Given the ubiquitous expression of FGFR1 during development, other abnormal phenotypes might, however, have been overlooked in these patients. Here, we...
