R31C GNRH1 Mutation and Congenital Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism
Normosmic congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nCHH) is a rare reproductive disease leading to lack of puberty and infertility. Loss-of-function mutations of GNRH1 gene are a very rare cause of autosomal recessive nCHH. R31C GNRH1 is the only missense mutation that affects the conserved GnRH decapeptide sequence. This mutation was identified in a CpG islet in nine nCHH subjects from four u...
متن کاملGNRH1 mutations in patients with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is a condition characterized by failure to undergo puberty in the setting of low sex steroids and low gonadotropins. IHH is due to abnormal secretion or action of the master reproductive hormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Several genes have been found to be mutated in patients with IHH, yet to date no mutations have been identified in t...
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 کاملI-3: Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is an uncommon cause of male infertility and a congenital or secondary disorder characterized by delayed or absent sexual maturation. Congenital abnormalities leading to HH are usually the consequence of deficient GnRH secretion occurring either in isolation (idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH)), or in association with anosmia (Kallmann syndrome; KS...
متن کاملCongenital Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism and Kallmann Syndrome: Past, Present, and Future
The proper development and coordination of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis are essential for normal reproductive competence. The key factor that regulates the function of the HPG axis is gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Timely release of GnRH is critical for the onset of puberty and subsequent sexual maturation. Misregulation in this system can result in delayed or absent p...
