GnRH receptor and GPR54 inactivation in isolated gonadotropic deficiency

de Roux, Nicolas·2006·Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism

Abstract

Isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is defined by a complete or partial impaired secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In the regulation of the gonadotropic axis, the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and its receptor have evolved as a central element in fetal life, at puberty, and for reproduction in adulthood. GnRH resistance due to GnRH receptor (GnRHR) germ-line mutations was the first genetic alteration identified in patients with IHH. GnRHR mutated receptors are associated with impaired GnRH binding, intracellular trafficking or ligand-induced signal transduction, leading to various degrees of LH and FSH deficiency. Loss-of-function mutations of the GnRH receptor account for 50% of familial cases of IHH without anosmia. In 2003, mutations of GPR54 were identified in patients with IHH, opening a new pathway in the physiological regulation of puberty and reproduction. Kisspeptins, which are the natural ligands of GPR54, are potent stimulators of the LH and FSH secretion via the control of GnRH secretion or modulation of the pituitary response to GnRH stimulation. Genotype-phenotype correlations in IHH due to GnRHR and GPR54 mutations indicate that similar mutations may lead to a variable phenotype and suggest that the pituitary might have its own pubertal maturation independent from GnRH. These two causes of IHH result in a more quantitative than qualitative defect of the gonadotropic axis activation. Molecular genetics of IHH has led to a major breakthrough in the neuroendocrine regulation of the gonadotropic axis. New insights into the understanding of the initiation of puberty and in the therapeutic management of defects of the gonadotropic axis have emerged from these studies.

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.
