NUCLEIC SEQUENCE OF THE GENE ASSOCIATED WITH X-LINKED KALLMANN SYNDROME, CORRESPONDING PEPTIDE SEQUENCES, DIAGNOSTIC APPLICATIONS

摘要

The invention relates to a fragment of nucleic acid characterized in that it comprises a nucleotide sequence selected from: (A) the sequence SEQ ID No. 1; (B) the sequences differing from the latter by mutation, insertion, deletion or substitution of one or more bases; (C) fragments of the said sequences (A) and (B); (D) sequences complementary to the said sequences (A), (B) and (C); and (E) the sequences which hybridize with the sequences (A), (B), and (C). The corresponding peptide sequences are also disclosed. A nucleic acid fragment of the invention may be used as primer or probe, particularly in a method for diagnosing a genetic anomaly linked to the Kallmann syndrome.
