"Genetic screening of 334 CHH patients identified seven heterozygous loss‐of‐function KLB mutations in 13 patients (4%). Most patients with KLB mutations (9/13) exhibited metabolic defects. In mice, lack of Klb led to delayed puberty, altered estrous cyclicity, and subfertility due to a hypothalamic defect associated with inability of GnRH neurons to release GnRH in response to FGF21."
They also included functional analysis and showed decreased activity in response to FGF21 and FGF8
KLB is an obligate coreceptor for FGF21 alongside FGFR1Created: 10 Mar 2020, 10:55 a.m. | Last Modified: 10 Mar 2020, 10:55 a.m.
