The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the presentation modalities, phenotypes and the modes of inheritance among 32 patients with Kallmann syndrome in Jordan. Recognition of the syndrome allows for prompt proper management and provision of genetic counselling.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                        <jats:title>Subjects<\/jats:title>\n                        <jats:p>Over a period of five years (1999\u20132004), the clinical and inheritance profiles of 26 male and 6 female patients with Kallmann syndrome from 12 families were evaluated at the National Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Genetics in Jordan.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                        <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                        <jats:p>The patients belonged to twelve Jordanian and Palestinian families and their age at presentation ranged from 4 \u2013 46 years. Nine boys aged 4\u201314 years presented with cryptorchidism and microphallus, all other males presented with delayed puberty, hypogonadism and\/or infertility. The main presentation among six female patients was primary amenorrhea. Intrafamilial variability in clinical phenotype was specifically evident for renal abnormalities and sensorineural hearing impairment. Familial KS was diagnosed in 27 patients belonging to five families with the X-linked mode of inheritance and two families with the autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                        <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                        <jats:p>(1) the majority of cases in this study represented the X-linked form of KS, which might point to a high prevalence of Kal 1 gene in the population. (2) Genetic counselling helps these families to reach a diagnosis at an early age and to decide about their reproductive options. (3) Children presenting with cryptorchidism and microphallus in our population should be investigated for KS.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1742-4755-1-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,28]],"date-time":"2004-10-28T16:38:47Z","timestamp":1098981527000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Clinical and inheritance profiles of Kallmann syndrome in Jordan"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Mousa A","family":"AbuJbara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanan A","family":"Hamamy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadim S","family":"Jarrah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadima S","family":"Shegem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kamel M","family":"Ajlouni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"5_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1097\/00001703-200206000-00010","volume":"14","author":"C Hay","year":"2002","unstructured":"Hay C, Wu F: Genetics and hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism.
