Kallmann syndrome with situs inversus: An unreported association

ABSTRACT Kallmann syndrome is associated with nonreproductive phenotypical features; its association with situs inversus is not reported in literature. We reported a case of Kallmann syndrome with situs inversus and midline defect in the form of cleft lip with absent olfactory bulb and sulcus. The overlapping features of ciliopathies and Kallmann syndrome suggests it may be the spectrum of ciliopathies. Whole-exome sequencing did not reveal any pathogenic mutation in this case; hence, for detection of intronic and intergenic mutation, whole-genome sequencing is required in such cases.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Kallmann syndrome is associated with nonreproductive phenotypical features; its association with situs inversus is not reported in literature. We reported a case of Kallmann syndrome with situs inversus and midline defect in the form of cleft lip with absent olfactory bulb and sulcus. The overlapping features of ciliopathies and Kallmann syndrome suggests it may be the spectrum of ciliopathies. Whole-exome sequencing did not reveal any pathogenic mutation in this case; hence, for detection of intronic and intergenic mutation, whole-genome sequencing is required in such cases.
