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.
卡尔曼综合征(KS)的特征是伴有嗅觉缺失的孤立性低促性腺激素性性腺功能减退(IHH),有时还与唇腭裂(CLP)相关。为了描述合并CLP的KS男性患者的临床特征、遗传病因及治疗结果,我们对4例合并CLP的KS患者和6例不合并CLP的IHH患者进行了15个已知的导致IHH的基因(KAL1、FGFR1、NELF、FGF8、CHD7、WDR11、SEMA3A、KISS1R、KISS1、PROKR2、PROK2、TAC3、TACR3、GNRH1和GNRHR)的基因筛查。在一名患有唇裂的23岁KS男性和一名分别患有唇腭裂、牙齿发育不全及高弓腭的18岁KS患者中,分别鉴定出FGFR1基因(NM_001174066)的两个新的杂合错义突变:c.776G>A(p.G259E)和(NM_001174066):c.358C>T(p.R120C)。这两个突变在其健康父母及200名正常对照中均未出现。在一名患有唇裂和牙齿发育不全且经促性腺激素治疗后产生精子的18岁KS男性中,鉴定出KISS1R基因(NM_032551)的一个新的杂合错义突变:c.587C>A(p.P196H)。该突变在其健康的父亲和祖父中也存在。这些结果对合并FGFR1基因突变的KS和CLP男性患者的诊断、遗传咨询及治疗具有重要意义。
