Background: WDR11 has recently been reported as one of the causative genes of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH). To date, five missense mutations in WDR11 have been identified in six patients with normosmic isolated HH (nIHH) or Kallmann syndrome (KS).Methods: We performed mutation screening of WDR11 for 46 cases with various types of HH. RT-PCR was carried out for a patient with a mutation. The protein structure of the mutant...
