Descriptor síndrome de Kallmann
Scope note: Trastorno familiar y congénito que se caracteriza por hipogonadismo hipogonadotrópico, caracteres eunocoides y anosmia o hiposmia. Está ocasionado por un defecto en la síntesis, liberación o ambos de la LHRH (hormona liberadora de la hormona luteinizante; GONADORRELINA) desde el hipotálamo como resultado de una migración neuronal embrionaria defectuosa. El gen responsable se encuentra en la región Xp22.3, en el brazo corto del cromosoma X. Existe un homólogo en el cromosoma Y. El síndrome tiene mayor prevalencia en hombres en una relación de tres a uno.

Scope note: A genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by hypothalamic GNRH deficiency and OLFACTORY NERVE defects. It is characterized by congenital HYPOGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM and ANOSMIA, possibly with additional midline defects. It can be transmitted as an X-linked (GENETIC DISEASES, X-LINKED), an autosomal dominant, or an autosomal recessive trait.
