Table 1.

All reported (n=19) different human GNRHR mutant alleles to date are shown, including mutation location in the gene and protein, the number of times the allele has been reported, and the effects upon binding and IP3 signaling.

Missense mutations are ordered by codon number. Five additional alleles (#20-24) have also been reported, but not studied in vitro. Only newly identified alleles were included from Cerrato et al[37] since it was not possible to determine which patients with known causative alleles had been reported previously.

ND= not done;ECD = extracellular domain; ECL = extracellular loop, TMD = transmembrane domain; ICL = intracellular loop.
