Recent medical paper on Kallmann syndrome / CHH

Kallmann syndrome / CHH are not easy to diagnose, especially if there is an absence of additional symptoms. In normal development there is a surge of reproductive hormones (LH / FSH / testosterone or oestrogen) that occurs soon after birth, between 1 and 6 months of age (a mini-puberty). This surge is more pronounced in males than females.

In Kallmann syndrome / CHH this surge is absent and a blood test to measure hormone levels soon after birth can help with an early diagnosis of Kallmann syndrome / CHH or help to eliminate it.
