Objective: Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) results from isolated GnRH deficiency and may present with normal sense of smell (nCHH), anosmia (Kallmann syndrome, KS) or in syndromic forms. Genetic defects are identified in approximately half of CHH cases and oligogenicity is noted in almost 10%. Further, spontaneous reversal of is seen in 15% of patients.Methods: We analyzed the clinical characteristics of 37 Serbian CHH probands (34 sporadi...

Context: Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) and CHARGE syndrome are clinically and genetically overlapping syndromes, with mutations in the CHD7 gene presenting in both disorders. However systematic evaluation of CHARGE features in CHD7-positive CHH patients is seldom performed.Objective: This study aims to systematically evaluate CHARGE features in CHD7-positive patients and explore the phenotype-genotype correlation.<p...
