Pathogenic mosaic variants in congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
Article in Genetics in medicine : official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeCongenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) is a rare disorder resulting in absent puberty and infertility. The genetic architecture is complex with multiple loci involved, variable expressivity, and incomplete penetrance. The majority of cases are sporadic, consistent with a disease affecting fertility. The current study aims to investigate mosaicism as a genetic mechanism for CHH, focusing on de novo rare variants in CHH genes.
methodsWe evaluated 60 trios for de novo rare sequencing variants (RSV) in known CHH genes using exome sequencing. Potential mosaicism was suspected among RSVs with altered allelic ratios and confirmed using customized ultradeep sequencing (UDS) in multiple tissues.
resultsAmong the 60 trios, 10 probands harbored de novo pathogenic variants in CHH genes. Custom UDS demonstrated that three of these de novo variants were in fact postzygotic mosaicism-two in FGFR1 (p.Leu630Pro and p.Gly348Arg), and one in CHD7 (p.Arg2428*). Statistically significant variation across multiple tissues (DNA from blood, buccal, hair follicle, urine) confirmed their mosaic nature.
conclusionsWe identified a significant number of de novo pathogenic variants in CHH of which a notable number (3/10) exhibited mosaicism. This report of postzygotic mosaicism in CHH patients provides valuable information for accurate genetic counseling.
