Abstract:
Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a rare hereditary disease. It is characterized by hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism in association with anosmia or hyposmia. At present, three modes of inheritance and genes related to KS have been identified. This review focuses on the clinical diagnosis and advances in the studies of the pathogenesis gene for Kallmann syndrome.
