What distinguishes Kallmann Syndrome from other genetic diseases?

Kallman syndrome, also called Master-Kallmann-Morsier syndrome, consists of congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

As a consequence, those affected by this genetic pathology present inefficient development of secondary sexual characteristics once they reach puberty. This is the reason why patients with Kallmann's syndrome present sterility problems

On the other hand, Kallman's syndrome also causes alterations in the perception of smell, such as hyposmia and anosmia, i.e., decreased or complete absence of smell, respectively.
