Seven heterozygous loss‐of‐function KLB mutations in 13 individuals reported. In mice, lack of Klb led to delayed puberty, altered estrous cyclicity, and subfertility due to a hypothalamic defect associated with inability of GnRH neurons to release GnRH in response to FGF21. Functional analysis showed decreased activity in response to FGF21 and FGF8. KLB is an obligate coreceptor for FGF21 alongside FGFR1.
