Normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to a novel homozygous nonsense c.C969A (p.Y323X) mutation in the KISS1R gene in three unrelated families

Abstract: We identified a homozygous nonsense mutation in the KISS1R gene in three unrelated families with nIHH, which enabled us to observe the phenotypic consequences of this rare condition. Escape from nonsense-mediated decay, and thus production of abnormal proteins, may account for the variable severity of the phenotype. Although KISS1R mutations are extremely rare and can cause a heterogeneous phenotype, analysis of the KISS1R gene should be a part of genetic analysis of patients with nIHH, to allow better underst… Show more

“…They had a UBE3B frameshift deletion, creating a stop codon in exon 17, expected to result in a transcript lacking the catalytic HECT domain. Frameshift mutations usually lead to nonsense meditated decay, however the UBE3B transcript levels in the patients and parents were similar to healthy controls, likely as a result of nonsense mediated decay escape mechanism [Zhang and Maquat, ; Nagy and Maquat, ; Demirbilek et al, ; Symoens et al, ]. The mutation causing an altered translation initiation codon might lead to the use of an in‐frame downstream ATG as start codon (N‐terminal truncation).…”

“…14 A few genes that are involved in the pathogenesis of IHH have been identified at various sites, including TAC3, TACR3, GnRHR, FGFR1, GNRH1, FGF8, KISS1, and KISS1R. 11 However, these genetic defects account for less than 30% of patients with IHH. 15 AR AURKC CATSPER1 CCDC39 CFTR CHD7 DNAAF1 DNAAF2 DNAAF3 DNAH1 DNAH11 DNAH5 DNAI1 DNAI2 DPY19L2 DYX1C1 ETV5 FGF8 FGFR1 GNRHR HEATR2 HSF2 HYDIN KAL1 KISS1R LEP LEPR NANOS1 NELF NR5A1 PLCZ1 PROK2 PROKR2 RHOXF1 RHOXF2 RSPH1 RSPH4A RSPH9 SEPT12 SLC26A8 SOHLH2 SPATA16 SUN5 SYCE1 SYCP3 TAC3 TACR3 TEX11 USP26 WDR11 ZMYDN15 In previous studies, KISS1R was one of the major genes that implicated in IHH in the autosomal-recessive form.…”

“…The scarcity of genetic data in patients with IHH makes it difficult to genetically characterize this condition. However, more recently, another type of loss-of-function mutation of the KISS1R gene was newly discovered in three unrelated Kurdish families ( 12 ). This was a nonsense c.C969A (Y323X) mutation.…”

“…Other types of gene mutations have been found in Kurdish families ( 12 ). The Kurdish population are descendants of a small number of ancestors, and there is a high prevalence of consanguinity among them, resulting in over-dominant selection of heterozygous carriers and homozygous offspring with deleterious gene mutations such as the GPR54 gene mutation in this case.…”
