Abstract

Infertility and inability to smell are the phenotypical features of Kallmann's syndrome (KS), a genetic disease which affects 1 in 10,000 males and 1 in 50,000 females, the majority of the cases being sporadic. The molecular pathogenesis of KS is complex but mainly referable to the impairment of olfactory axon development and of the migration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons. Only two different genes have been identified so far as responsible for the disease: KAL1 and KAL2, encoding anosmin-1 and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), respectively. In this review we focus our attention on insights evoked by recent studies, which propose a new direct role for anosmin-1 in the migration GnRH neurons, and a fascinating hypothesis of interactions between anosmin-1 and FGFR1 systems.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Other associated neurological and somatic abnormalities may segregate with the Kallmann syndrome phenotype, suggesting a common genetic origin of these abnormalities.

    “Other associated neurological and somatic abnormalities, such as synkinesia, cerebellar ataxia, sensorineural deafness, mental retardation, unilateral renal agenesis and cleft palate, may segregate with the Kallmann syndrome phenotype, which suggests a common genetic origin of these abnormalities.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
