Abstract

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is often associated with anosmia in a condition known as Kallmann's syndrome. The gene for the X-linked form of Kallmann's syndrome has been mapped to chromosome Xp22.3,1 and several mutations have been described.2–4 In idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism there is no anosmia, and the involved genes have not been characterized. One possible candidate is the gene for gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), especially since hypogonadal mice with the deletion of this gene have been identified.5 However, no abnormality of the gene for GnRH has been found in several patients with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.6–9 The gene for the GnRH receptor . . .

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.
