Answers:
Kallmann's Syndrome

A condition in which the area of the brain responsible for the sense of smell and the hypothalamic cells which produce GnRH (gonadotrophin-releasing hormone) fail to develop properly!. This results in reduced or absent sense of smell ('hyposmia' or 'anosmia') in association with reduced activity of the ovaries or testes (Hypogonadism, caused by lack of LH and FSH secretion by the pituitary)!. The condition is about four times commoner in boys than girls and can be inherited or 'sporadic' (occurring without any family history)!. The condition usually comes to light when the normal changes associated with puberty fail to materialise during the teenage years!. The gene responsible for Kallmann's syndrome has been identified and studied in detail!. It appears to be responsible for the normal migration of certain brain cells in the developing foetus!.
