CONTEXT: Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder, with multiple causative and candidate genes identified to date.
OBJECTIVE: To clarify underlying genetic factors involved in the development of CHH.
METHODS: We examined 88 Japanese patients with CHH using gene panel analysis (GPA) for 14 representative causative genes and whole-exome sequencing (WES) which was initially focused on 41 causative/candidate genes and subsequently expanded to other genes. We extracted rare variants (frequency of <0.01) and performed pathogenic assessment using refined American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology criteria and registered information in ClinVar.
RESULTS: Twenty-seven pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants were identified in 30 patients through GPA performed for all 88 patients and in 4 patients through WES performed for 58 patients in whom no obvious disease-causing variants were revealed by GPA. They resided in previously known ANOS1 (6 variants in 7 patients), CHD7 (3 variants in 3 patients), FGFR1 (14 variants in 15 patients), PROKR2 (2 variants in 8 patients), and SOX10 (1 variant in 1 patient), and a hitherto unrecognized ZNF462 (1 variant in 1 patient). One patient had 2 variants. Additionally, potentially CHH-related variants were detected in 12 genes including SEMA4D and CDH2 postulated on the CHH-related molecular network. Furthermore, in the 41 CHH-related genes, the frequency of oligogenicity was significantly higher and the number of rare variants per individual was significantly larger in 54 CHH patients with no discernible pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants than in 100 control individuals.
CONCLUSION: The results support the notion that CHH occurs not only as a monogenic disorder but also as an oligogenic/multifactorial disorder, and suggest the involvement of ZNF462, SEMA4D, and CDH2 variants in the development of CHH.
