Learn about GnRH deficiency / Kallmann syndrome What is GnRH deficiency? A Brief Overview GnRH deficiency can occur in a number of different conditions and are classed collectively as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH). One type of GnRH deficiency that occurs in conjunction with a lack of sense of s

Patient Resources Other patients know what it is like to live with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH, and Kallmann syndrome) on a day-to-day basis. It can be helpful to have contact with these patients to receive support and also to provide support. Below you will find several links to p
