The KAL1 pVal610Ile mutation is a recessive mutation causing Kallmann syndrome

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.
