This mini-review argues that ZNF462, known for Weiss-Kruszka syndrome, may also be linked to Kallmann syndrome and delayed puberty. Several reported cases with ZNF462 loss showed hormone-related features, including growth hormone deficiency, cryptorchidism, and delayed puberty, suggesting ZNF462 may affect hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal development.
