Normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nIHH) and Kallmann syndrome (KS) represent two rare phenotypic presentations of humans with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism secondary to GnRH deficiency. KS/nIHH is genetically heterogeneous and is characterized by incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. Some genetic variants may play the role of modifier alleles or act as ‘second hits’, providing an explanation of this phenotypic variability. In addition to ...
