Objective:
To present the clinical, genetic, biochemical, and molecular findings in two Chinese siblings with X-linked recessive Kallmann syndrome (KS).
Design:
Case report.
Setting:
University medical center.
Patient(S):
Two Chinese siblings.
Intervention(S):
Clinical evaluation, hormone assays, and gene mutation research.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Endocrinologic evaluation and genetic analysis.
Result(S):
A missense mutation of KAL1, c.1828G>A, led to pVal610Ile substitution in two brothers with KS; their mother is heterozygous for this missense mutation encoded by single-nucleotide polymorphism rs2229013.
Conclusion(S):
Mutation analysis revealed that a missense mutation of KAL1 in two brothers with KS, while their mother was heterozygous for this missense mutation encoded by the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs2229013. Variant alleles of KAL1 related to X-linked recessive KS expand the spectrum of KAL1 mutations causing KS.

Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
