Which are the causes of Kallmann Syndrome?
See some of the causes of Kallmann Syndrome according to people who have experience in Kallmann Syndrome
Kallmanns is a gene mutation. It can start out as some that is considered a 'late bloomer' and then it mutates through the Generations.

The condition is congenital but some forms can be acquired later in life, mainly in females.
The exact genetic cause is unknown, with over 25 different gene / alleles having been found to cause cases of Kallmann syndrome.
The root cause is the failure of the hypothalamus gland to release GnRH in order for the pituitary gland to release the hormones LH and FSH correctly. It is the absence of LH and FSH that cause the infertility and lack of puberty.
The hypothalamus can failure to release GnRH either because it lacks the correct nerve cells to do so or the timing mechanism does not work correctly which means that the GnRH is not released in the correct way for the pituitary gland to be able to respond.

Congenital. Usually in the 14 wks of gestation.

Genetic is the reason for kallmann syndrome

An exact cause is unknown. The condition is genetic, but this may be an isolated incident of mutation or it may be inherited.
