    A history of anosmia or hyposmia points to Kallmann syndrome, which is the result of a rare genetic mutation and can affect boys and girls. [endocrinenews.endocrine.org]

    It may also be associated with inability (anosmia) or reduced ability (hyposmia) to smell. Many hypothalamic (GnRH) and pituitary (LH and FSH) synthesis and secretory defects result in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. [kallmannsyndrome.wordpress.com]

    Indeed, delayed puberty has a significant genetic basis often demonstrating an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, with or without incomplete penetrance. [ 3 ] The presence of an absent or abnormal sense of smell (anosmia or hyposmia) strongly suggests [pubs.sciepub.com]
