Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to loss of function of the KiSS1-derived peptide receptor GPR54.
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is defined as a deficiency of the pituitary secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, which results in the impairment of pubertal maturation and of reproductive function. In the absence of pituitary or hypothalamic anatomical lesions and of anosmia (Kallmann syndrome), hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is referred to as isolated hypogonadotropi...
متن کاملInactivating KISS1 mutation and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the central regulator of gonadotropins, which stimulate gonadal function. Hypothalamic neurons that produce kisspeptin and neurokinin B stimulate GnRH release. Inactivating mutations in the genes encoding the human kisspeptin receptor (KISS1R, formerly called GPR54), neurokinin B (TAC3), and the neurokinin B receptor (TACR3) result in pubertal failure. H...
متن کاملKiss1-/- mice exhibit more variable hypogonadism than Gpr54-/- mice.
The G protein-coupled receptor Gpr54 and its ligand metastin (derived from the Kiss1 gene product kisspeptin) are key gatekeepers of sexual maturation. Gpr54 knockout mice demonstrate hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, but until recently, the phenotype of Kiss1 knockout mice was unknown. This report describes the reproductive phenotypes of mice carrying targeted deletions of Kiss1 or Gpr54 on the s...
متن کاملHypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to GnRH receptor mutation in a sibling.
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is characterised by delayed puberty and infertility. Congenital HH comprises Kallmann syndrome with hypo-/anosmia and idiopathic HH (IHH). The genetic origin remains unknown in most cases, but the defective GnRH receptor gene (GNRHR) accounts for a considerable proportion of IHH. Here we describe a pair of siblings diagnosed with IHH. Aged 17 years, the boy wa...
متن کاملHypogonadotropic Hypogonadism due to Novel FGFR1 Mutations
OBJECTIVE The underlying genetic etiology of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is heterogeneous. Fibroblast growth factor signaling is pivotal in the ontogeny of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons. Loss-of-function mutations in FGFR1 gene cause variable HH phenotypes encompassing pubertal delay to idiopathic HH (IHH) or Kallmann syndrome (KS). As FGFR1 mutations are common, recognizing mut...
