Mutations in gonadotropin-releasing hormone signaling pathway in two nIHH patients with successful pregnancy outcomes
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Anomalous levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion result in a variety of reproductive phenotypes associated with infertility or subfertility. The normosmic isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nIHH) is due to a failure of either GnRH pulsatile secretion in hypothalamus or its reception in pituitary. The spectrum of nIHH-associated alterations continues to expand, especially when additional ethnic populations are investigated. The aim of this study was to uncover genetic causes for nIHH in patients of Russian origin. METHODS: For two nIHH patients referred to infertility clinic, both exons and promoter sequences of 6 GnRH signaling genes were sequenced. RESULTS: Patient 1 was a compound heterozygote for mutations in GnRH and its receptor encoding genes, while in Patient 2 GnRHR mutations were found in homozygous state. In both patients, the coding frame of GnRHR gene harbored missense-mutation Arg139His previously described as founder mutation in Polish and Brazilan patients. IVF/ET treatments were successful, with phenotypically healthy offsprings delivered. CONCLUSION: Polish founder mutation Arg139His in GnRHR was found in two nIHH patients originating from Western region of Russia. Common variant of GnRH-encoding gene, Trp16Ser, could possibly contribute to reproductive phenotypes in patients with heterozygous mutations of other GnRH signaling pathway genes.

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.
