Although the Kallmann syndrome, a type of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism associated with anosmia and other congenital anomalies, has been linked to mutations in the KAL1 gene on the X chromosome, only 11–14% of Caucasian patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism have detectable KAL1 mutations [29], reflecting the considerable genetic heterogeneity of this syndrome. This evidence concerns the gene ANOS1 and Anosmia.
