7039 Isolated Gonadotropin Deficiency Transmitted From Mother to Daughter Conceived Through Assisted Reproduction Due Newly Identified, Autosomal Dominant Mutation Within the SOX10 Gene

Title: Isolated gonadotropin deficiency transmitted from mother to daughter conceived through assisted reproduction due newly identified, autosomal dominant mutation within the SOX10 gene. Objectives: We report a case of genetic isolated gonadotropin deficiency occurring in a mother and in her daughter conceived through assisted reproductive technology using mother’s ovum. Methods Case report Results: The daughter was initially seen at 12 years 0 months for evaluation of short stature and concerns she had not grown in the last year. She was otherwise in good health and reported normal sense of smell. At the time of assessment, her height was 132.6 cm (0.61 percentile; Z=-2.5). The mother had been diagnosed with Kallmann’s syndrome and achieved pregnancy through ovarian stimulation. Her height was 152.4 cm, while the father's height was 177.8 cm. Two male siblings were born at the same time and were in normal health. Physical examination of the daughter was unremarkable. She had Tanner stage 1 pubic hair and Tanner stage 1 breasts. The growth chart displayed a notable deceleration in growth Laboratory results showed normal free T4 of (0.9 ng/dL) with slightly elevated TSH (8.348 uIU/mL), positive thyroid antibodies, normal IGFI at 164 ng/mL (normal range for Tanner I: 54 - 301) and IGFBP-3 at 5.8 ug/mL (2.4 - 8.4 ug/mL). The karyotype was 46 XX. Her peak growth hormone using glucagon-arginine stimulation was 12.8 ng/ml. When no pubertal development was seen over the next 6 months, GnRH stimulation testing revealed baseline LH of 0.04 mIU/ml and a peak of 1.78 and baseline FSH of 0.41 mIU/ml with a peak of 2.83. Bone age was 8 years 4 months.Over the next year her growth velocity was 4.8 cm/year and she remained prepubertal. Genetic testing done identified a new heterozygous sequence variant (c.226G>A) in the SOX10 gene which would lead to replacement of valine by isoleucine at position 76 and was thought to be damaging in silico. This variant was subsequently found to be shared with her mother but not her father. Conclusions: Most Kallmann’s syndrome or genetic isolated gonadotropin deficiency cases are due to autosomal dominant but spontaneous new mutations since infertility is usually present in those with the syndrome. This case emphasizes the importance of genetic counselling regarding inheritance risk when assisted reproduction technology using maternal ovum is used. Presentation: 6/2/2024
