http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/15004876http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Isolated gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) deficiency, including Kallmann's syndrome (KS) and idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH), is a congenital disorder, which is characterized by a functional deficit in hypothalamic GnRH secretion. Despite recent advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of the X-linked form of KS as the identification of the KAL gene (Xp22.3), the genetic basis of the sporadic form in female patients remains unclear. Although most searches for mutations in X chromosome have been reported in males, the newly recognized phenomenon of inheritance, such as genomic imprinting and uniparental disomy, raises the possibility of a female phenotype in the X-linked genetic defect. Here, the molecular study of the coding region of the KAL gene (exon 5 to 14) in 10 unrelated females with KS (n=6) or IHH (n=4) is reported. None of the subjects had familial histories of delayed puberty or hypogonadism. Samples from 4 healthy, unrelated female volunteers were used for identification of polymorphisms. PCR of the 10 exons of the KAL gene was performed on genomic DNA. The PCR products of the 10 exons were subject to single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis to identify possible mutations. In an SSCP analysis of the amplified fragments (fragment size: 147 to 302 bp), no mutations or polymorphisms were found in any of the 10 patients and 4 controls. In conclusion, it is unlikely that KAL gene mutations are a clinically significant cause of sporadic GnRH deficiency in female patients, indicating the existence of defects in unidentified genes that result in the expression of the phenotypes in females."xsd:string
