AbstractBackground:Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) is classified as Kallmann syndrome (KS) with anosmia/hyposmia or normosmic (n)CHH. Here, we investigated the genetic causes and phenotype-genotype correlations in Japanese patients with CHH.Methods:We enrolled 22 Japanese patients with CHH from 21 families (18 patients with KS and 4 with nCHH) and analyzed 27 genes implicated in CHH by next-generation and Sanger sequencing.Results:We detected 12 potentially pathogenic mutations in 11 families, with three having a mutation inConclusions:The frequency of CHH genes in the Japanese was compatible with previous reports, except that
