HGNC name prokineticin receptor 2
HGNC id 15836
ASSOCIATED DISORDERS
corresponding disease(s) KAL3
Susceptibility
  • to GNRH1 deficiency and failure of reproductive competency
  • to recurrent miscarriage (RM)
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • PROKR2 L173R is an ancient founder mutation that was not eliminated during evolution despite being associated with GNRH1 deficiency and failure of reproductive competency
  • PROKR2 (V331M) variant conferred lower risk for RM and may play protective roles in early pregnancy by altering calcium signaling and facilitating cell invasiveness
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
    Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Prokr2-deficient mice display vascular dysmorphology of the fetal testes
  • mice lacking Prokr2 have been shown to present abnormal olfactory bulb formation as well as defects in GnRH neuron migration
