Kallmann syndrome with FGFR1 and KAL1 mutations detected during fetal life.

ABSTRACT: Kallmann syndrome (KS) patients carrying FGFR1 mutations can transmit the disorder to their offspring as can asymptomatic female carriers of mutations in KAL1. We describe for the first time two cases in which KS was suspected during fetal life because of the family context and malformation detection by fetal ultrasound: syndactyly or unilateral renal agenesis in subjects with respectively FGFR1 and KAL1 mutations. In relevant family history, ultrasound monitoring can detect KS associated signs before birth and thus enable neonatal diagnosis and early management. These observations also underline the importance of genetic counselling for patients who may transmit KS to their offspring.

Point mutations in KAL1 and the mitochondrial gene MT-tRNA(cys) synergize to produce Kallmann syndrome phenotype.

Project description:Kallmann syndrome (KS) is an inherited developmental disorder defined as the association of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia. KS has been shown to be a genetically heterogeneous disease with different modes of inheritance. However, variants in any of the causative genes identified so far are only found in approximately one third of KS patients, thus indicating that other genes or pathways remain to be discovered. Here, we report a large Han Chinese family with inherited KS which harbors two novel variants, KAL1 c.146G>T (p.Cys49Phe) and mitochondrial tRNA(cys) (m.5800A>G). Although two variants can't exert obvious effects on the migration of GnRH neurons, they show the synergistic effect, which can account for the occurrence of the disorder in this family. Furthermore, the disturbance of the mitochondrial cysteinyl-tRNA pathway can significantly affect the migration of GnRH cells in vitro and in vivo by influencing the chemomigration function of anosmin-1. Our work highlights a new mode of inheritance underlay the genetic etiology of KS and provide valuable clues to understand the disease development.

A novel nonsense mutation of the KAL1 gene (p.Trp204*) in Kallmann syndrome.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To describe a novel KAL1 mutation in patients affected by Kallmann syndrome. SETTING:Endocrinology Clinic of the João de Barros Barreto University Hospital - Federal University of Pará, Brazil. METHODS:Clinical examination, hormone assays and sequencing of exons 5, 6 and 9 of the KAL1 gene in four Brazilian brothers with Kallmann syndrome. RESULTS:Detected a novel KAL1 mutation, c.612G.A/p.Trp204*, in four hemizygous brothers with Kallmann syndrome, and five heterozygous female family members. CONCLUSION:The novel p.Trp204* mutation of the KAL1 gene results in the production of a truncated anosmin-1 enzyme in patients with Kallmann syndrome. This finding broadens the spectrum of pathogenic mutations for this disease.

AB132. The KAL1 pVal610Ile mutation is a recessive mutation causing Kallmann syndrome

Project description:Objective To present the clinical, genetic, biochemical, and molecular findings in two Chinese siblings with X-linked recessive Kallmann syndrome (KS). Design Case report. Setting University medical center. Patient(s) Two Chinese siblings. Intervention(s) Clinical evaluation, hormone assays, and gene mutation research. Main outcome measure(s) Endocrinologic evaluation and genetic analysis. Result(s) A missense mutation of KAL1, c.1828G>A, led to pVal610Ile substitution in two brothers with KS; their mother is heterozygous for this missense mutation encoded by single-nucleotide polymorphism rs2229013. Conclusions Mutation analysis revealed that a missense mutation of KAL1 in two brothers with KS, while their mother was heterozygous for this missense mutation encoded by the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs2229013. Variant alleles of KAL1 related to X-linked recessive KS expand the spectrum of KAL1 mutations causing KS.

Novel FGFR1 and KISS1R Mutations in Chinese Kallmann Syndrome Males with Cleft Lip/Palate.

Project description:Kallmann syndrome (KS) is characterized by isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) with anosmia and is sometimes associated with cleft lip/palate (CLP). In order to describe the clinical features, genetic etiology, and treatment outcome of KS males with CLP, we performed genetic screening for 15 known causal IHH genes (KAL1, FGFR1, NELF, FGF8, CHD7, WDR11, SEMA3A, KISS1R, KISS1, PROKR2, PROK2, TAC3, TACR3, GNRH1, and GNRHR) in four KS with CLP patients and six IHH patients without CLP. Two novel heterozygous missense mutations in FGFR1, (NM_001174066): c.776G>A (p.G259E) and (NM_001174066): c.358C>T (p.R120C), were identified in a 23-year-old KS male with cleft lip and an 18-year-old KS patient with cleft lip and palate, dental agenesis, and high arched palate, respectively. These two mutations were not presented in their healthy parents and 200 normal controls. One novel heterozygous missense mutation in KISS1R, (NM_032551): c.587C>A (p.P196H), was identified in an 18-year-old KS male with cleft lip and dental agenesis who developed sperm after being treated with gonadotropin. This mutation was also presented in his healthy father and grandfather. These results have implications for the diagnosis, genetic counseling, and treatment of KS and CLP males with mutations in FGFR1 gene.

Convergent pathways underlying the Kallmann syndrome-linked genes Hs6st1 and Fgfr1

Project description:Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a congenital disorder characterized by idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and olfactory dysfunction. KS is linked to variants in more than 24 genes, which are scattered across the human genome and show disparate biological functions. Although the genetic basis of KS is well studied, the mechanisms by which disruptions of these diverse genes cause KS are not fully understood.

Mutations in FEZF1 cause Kallmann syndrome.

Project description:Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons originate outside the CNS in the olfactory placode and migrate into the CNS, where they become integral components of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Disruption of this migration results in Kallmann syndrome (KS), which is characterized by anosmia and pubertal failure due to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Using candidate-gene screening, autozygosity mapping, and whole-exome sequencing in a cohort of 30 individuals with KS, we searched for genes newly associated with KS. We identified homozygous loss-of-function mutations in FEZF1 in two independent consanguineous families each with two affected siblings. The FEZF1 product is known to enable axons of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) to penetrate the CNS basal lamina in mice. Because a subset of axons in these tracks is the migratory pathway for GnRH neurons, in FEZF1 deficiency, GnRH neurons also fail to enter the brain. These results indicate that FEZF1 is required for establishment of the central component of the HPG axis in humans.

Kallmann syndrome in a female adolescent: a new mutation in the FGFR1 gene.

Project description:The Kallmann syndrome is characterised by the association of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and hypo/anosmia. It represents a phenotypically and genotypically heterogeneous clinical entity, with six genes identified so far in the literature-KAL1, FGFR1, PROKR2, PROK2, CHD7 and FGF8. Mutations in the FGFR1 gene can be found in approximately 10% of the patients. The authors present the case of a female adolescent with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and impaired olfactory acuity in the presence of hypoplasia of the nasal sulcus and agenesis of the olfactory bulbs. The molecular analysis of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 identified a heterozygous mutation c.1377_78insA (p.V460SfsX3) in exon 10 of FGFR1 gene. This mutation has not yet been reported in the literature. A theoretical review of clinical features and therapeutic approach of this syndrome is also presented.

Identification of HESX1 mutations in Kallmann syndrome.

Project description:ObjectiveTo determine whether HESX1 mutations are present in patients with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH)/Kallmann syndrome (KS).DesignPolymerase chain reaction-based DNA sequencing was performed on 217 well-characterized IHH/KS patients. Putative missense mutations were analyzed by sorting intolerant from tolerant (SIFT) and Clustal ?.SettingAcademic medical center.Patient(s)Two hundred seventeen patients with IHH/KS and 192 controls.Intervention(s)Deoxyribonucleic acid was extracted from patients and controls; genotype/phenotype comparisons were made.Main outcome measure(s)Deoxyribonucleic acid sequence of HESX1, SIFT analysis, and ortholog alignment.Result(s)Two novel heterozygous missense mutations (p.H42Y and p.V75L) and previously reported heterozygous missense mutation p.Q6H in HESX1 were identified in 3 of 217 patients (1.4%). All were males with KS. Both p.Q6H and p.H42Y were predicted to be deleterious by SIFT, whereas p.V75L was conserved in 8 of 9 species. No other IHH/KS gene mutations were present.Conclusion(s)HESX1 mutations may cause KS in addition to more severe phenotypes. Our findings expand the phenotypic spectrum of HESX1 mutations in humans, thereby broadening its role in development.

Kallmann syndrome.

Project description:The Kallmann syndrome (KS) combines hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) with anosmia. This is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease. KAL1, encoding the extracellular glycoprotein anosmin-1, is responsible for the X chromosome-linked recessive form of the disease. Mutations in FGFR1 or FGF8, encoding fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 and fibroblast growth factor-8, respectively, underlie an autosomal dominant form with incomplete penetrance. Finally, mutations in PROKR2 and PROK2, encoding prokineticin receptor-2 and prokineticin-2, have been found in heterozygous, homozygous, and compound heterozygous states. These two genes are likely to be involved both in monogenic recessive and digenic/oligogenic KS transmission modes. Notably, mutations in any of the above-mentioned KS genes have been found in less than 30% of the KS patients, which indicates that other genes involved in the disease remain to be discovered.

De novo homozygous deletion of segmental KAL1 and entire STS cause Kallmann syndrome and X-linked ichthyosis in a Chinese family

Project description:Kallmann syndrome is a genetically heterogeneous condition and a treatable form of male infertility. Defects in KAL1 gene have been implicated in Kallmann syndrome, which can be associated with X-linked ichthyosis in contiguous gene syndromes. In order to uncover the genetic cause of two brothers with Kallmann syndrome and X-linked ichthyosis, a custom semiconductor targeted resequencing panel to detect seventeen Kallmann syndrome causal genes and STS gene was designed. Next-generation sequencing was performed using this panel in the two affected brothers and their normal parents. To validate the result, we applied CytoScan™ HD array, quantitative real-time PCR and direct PCR electrophoresis analysis with the participants. The patients received clinical assessment, human chorionic gonadotropin treatment and follow-up for 39 months. The results showed that the two affected siblings have the same de novo deletion at Xp22.3 including exons 9-14 of KAL1 gene and entire STS gene but showed different phenotypes in some respects. The secondary sex characteristics of the patients were greatly improved after treatment. We firstly reported that a de novo homozygous deletion contribute to KS with bilateral cryptorchidism and unilateral renal agenesis or normal kidney development and developed a cost-effective and reliable semiconductor targeted resequencing panel for genetic diagnosis of Kallmann syndrome in routinely obtained samples.
