    Abstract

    Kallmann syndrome characterised by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) and anosmia is genetically heterogeneous with X-linked, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms. The autosomal dominant form due to loss of function mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) accounts for about 10% of cases. We report here three paediatric cases of Kallmann syndrome with unusual phenotype in two unrelated patients with severe ear anomalies (hypoplasia or agenesis of external ear) associated with classical features, such as cleft palate, dental agenesis, syndactylia, micropenis and cryptorchidism. We found de novo mutation in these two patients (Cys178Ser and Arg622Gly, respectively), and one inherited Arg622Gln mutation with intrafamilial variable phenotype. These genotype-phenotype correlations indicate that paediatric phenotypic expression of FGFR1 loss of function mutations is highly variable, the severity of the oro-facial malformations at birth does not predict gonadotropic function at the puberty and that de novo mutations of FGFR1 are relatively frequent.

      Related information

      • Related Citations
        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Compound (MeSH Keyword)
        PubChem chemical compound records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.
      • Gene
        Gene records that cite the current articles. Citations in Gene are added manually by NCBI or imported from outside public resources.
      • Gene (GeneRIF)
        Gene records that have the current articles as Reference into Function citations (GeneRIFs). NLM staff reviewing the literature while indexing MEDLINE add GeneRIFs manually.
      • HomoloGene
        HomoloGene clusters of homologous genes and sequences that cite the current articles. These are references on the Gene and sequence records in the HomoloGene entry.
      • Nucleotide (RefSeq)
        NCBI nucleotide Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.
      • Nucleotide (Weighted)
        Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • OMIM (calculated)
        Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
      • Protein (RefSeq)
        NCBI protein Reference Sequences (RefSeqs) that are cited in the current articles, included in the corresponding Gene Reference into Function, or that include the PubMed articles as references.
