The Importance of Autosomal Genes in Kallmann Syndrome: Genotype-Phenotype Correlations and Neuroendocrine Characteristics
2001-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Kallmann syndrome (KS) consists of congenital, isolated, idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) and anosmia.The gene responsible for the X-linked form of KS, KAL, encodes a protein, anosmin, that plays a key role in the migration of GnRH neurons and olfactory nerves to the hypothalamus.In addition to X-linked pedigrees, autosomal dominant and recessive kindreds with KS have been reported.The relative impor...
