  • Kallmann syndrome is an X-linked disorder, which is characterized by delayed puberty and anosmia. Kallmann syndrome results from mutations that cause a defect in migration of the GnRH neurons and the olfactory neurons
  • Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is normally secreted in androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). 
  • 5-Alpha-reductase deficiency requires standard surgical repair operations such as chordee correction, orchidopexia, and urethral reconstruction between 6 and 18 months of age to be raised as a male. If the child is raised as a female, surgical correction of the external genitalia should be considered and gonadal tissue should be removed early to prevent masculinization before puberty
