TLDR
The present study shows that loss of function of GPR54 is a cause of IHH, and it identifies GPR 54 and possibly KiSS1 protein-derived peptide as playing a major and previously unsuspected role in the physiology of the gonadotropic axis.Abstract:
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is defined as a deficiency of the pituitary secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, which results in the impairment of pubertal maturation and of reproductive function. In the absence of pituitary or hypothalamic anatomical lesions and of anosmia (Kallmann syndrome), hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is referred to as isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH). A limited number of IHH cases are due to loss-of-function mutations of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor. To identify additional gene defects leading to IHH, a large consanguineous family with five affected siblings and with a normal gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor coding sequence was studied. Homozygosity whole-genome mapping allowed the localization of a new locus within the short arm of chromosome 19 (19p13). Sequencing of several genes localized within this region showed that all affected siblings of the family carried a homozygous deletion of 155 nucleotides in the GPR54 gene. This deletion encompassed the splicing acceptor site of intron 4-exon 5 junction and part of exon 5. The deletion was absent or present on only one allele in unaffected family members. GPR54 has been initially identified as an orphan G protein-coupled receptor with 40% homology to galanin receptors. Recently, a 54-aa peptide derived from the KiSS1 protein was identified as a ligand of GPR54. The present study shows that loss of function of GPR54 is a cause of IHH, and it identifies GPR54 and possibly KiSS1 protein-derived peptide as playing a major and previously unsuspected role in the physiology of the gonadotropic axis.read more

Continuous Kisspeptin Restores Luteinizing Hormone Pulsatility Following Cessation by a Neurokinin B Antagonist in Female Sheep.
TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that continuous Kiss-10 delivery can support pulsatile GnRH/LH secretion in the sheep offers further support to the theory that GnRH pulse generation is intrinsic to GnRH neurons and that pulsatility of GnRH release can be affected with continuous stimulation by Kiss- 10.

TL;DR: The pharmacological use of GnRH itself or its synthetic analogs provides a valid tool to either stimulate or block gonadotropin secretion and to modulate the female fertility in several reproductive disorders and in assisted reproduction technology.

Parametric and nonparametric linkage analysis: a unified multipoint approach.
TL;DR: It is shown that NPL is robust to uncertainty about mode of inheritance, is much more powerful than commonly used nonparametric methods, and loses little power relative to parametric linkage analysis, and appears to be the method of choice for pedigree studies of complex traits.

TL;DR: It is shown that KiSS-1 encodes a carboxy-terminally amidated peptide with 54 amino-acid residues, which is isolated from human placenta as the endogenous ligand of an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (hOT7T175) and named ‘metastin’.
