Background: Heterozygous loss-of-function variants of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) are genetic causes of Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency (CPHD), Kallmann syndrome (KS) with anosmia/iposmia, Congenital Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (CHH) with normosmia and Septo-Optic Dysplasia. It is well-known that these variants are the main genetic factor underlying the development of CHH and KS; however, they have only occasionally been identified in C...
