Investigation of Kallmann Syndrome and Congenital Hypogonadotrophic Hypogonadism (CHH) has led to the identification of several new factors important in the development of GnRH neuronal system and essential for the normal function of hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Recently we are focusing on WDR11 gene, mutations of which are associated with KS/CHH individuals, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unknown. My research group aims to reveal the novel functions of these KS/CHH-associated factors and how they can be used to improve diagnosis and management of the disease later in life, as well as to provide potential therapeutic target for tumours.
