When congenital GnRH deficiency is associated with anosmia or hyposmia (an absent or grossly impaired sense of smell), the disorder is known as Kallmann&;s syndrome. Two genetic mutations associated with Kallman&;s Syndrome : KAL gene - X - linked inheritance (Xp22.3) encoding anosmin - 1. Gene encoding FGFR1 (Fibroblast growth factor - 1 receptor) - autosomal dominant form. Anosmin - 1 is a neural adhesion molecule that promotes migration of GnRH neurons and olfactory neurons, from the olfactory placode into the hypothalamus during embryonic development.
