Presentation
Recognition of this disorder and its spectrum of presentations provides important insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of the olfactory system. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Poster session presented at Annual Research Day at the National hospital of the Faroes, Torshavn, Faroe Islands. [findresearcher.sdu.dk]
The 23 contributions presented here cover a broad range of topics, which illustrate contemporary interests in our field. [books.google.com]
Families are rare, and tend to present in a dominant inheritance pattern. Despite a strong degree of heritability, no human disease‐causing mutations have been identified. [ingentaconnect.com]

Congenital anosmia and hyposmia (decreased sense of smell) has been described in several syndromes, where Kallmann syndrome is the best defined. [gransking.fo]

Myalgia
About 20% present with nonspecific symptoms that resemble dengue fever, including fever, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, and maculopapular rash. Rare infections cause the Guillain-Barre syndrome. [neuropathology-web.org]

Suggestibility
Family analysis with the complete ascertainment method under assumption of the same condition in the two families suggested that the disease is not inconsistent with an autosomal dominant mode with incomplete penetrance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
More and more research suggests that human beings subtly communicate with one another through pheromones, chemicals naturally secreted by the body that can be picked up through our noses. [lehmiller.com]
Statistics Studies suggest that approximately 1 in 10,000 people are affected by congenital anosmia. [familydiagnosis.com]
On the other hand, the researchers think the effect of a lack of smell on women makes sense in light of past research suggesting that smell is more important for their relationship security, than it is for men. [digest.bps.org.uk]

Treatment
Make the best clinical decisions with an enhanced emphasis on evidence-based practice and expert opinions on treatment strategies. Zero in on the most relevant and useful references with the aid of a more focused, concise bibliography. [books.google.com]
Unfortunately, there is currently no cure or treatment for congenital anosmia. [malacards.org]
They may be able to diagnose an underlying cause (see below) and offer treatment to restore your sense of smell. [nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk]
Because anosmia has many causes, we need multiple research and treatment approaches and will continue to initiate additional research projects as funding becomes available. [monell.org]

Etiology
Viewing isolated GnRH deficiency as an oligogenic condition has implications for understanding the pathogenesis of its reproductive and nonreproductive phenotypes; deciphering the etiology of common GnRH-related disorders; and modeling the genetic architecture [pnas.org]
Etiology and Natural History [ edit ] Most heart development occurs between the 2nd and 8th weeks of gestation 20-45% of congenital heart defects occur along with other anomalies 10% of congenital heart defects occur as part of a complex syndrome patient [en.wikibooks.org]
Structural or inflammatory diseases, isolated olfactory bulbs malformations or in the context of several syndromes, such as Kallmann‘s, are among the etiologies to be considered. [medcraveonline.com]

Pathophysiology
The genetic unraveling of ICA is still in its infancy as is the understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. [gransking.fo]
Although the underlying pathophysiology in Kallmann’s syndrome is relatively well investigated ( 4, 5 ), IA has received far less attention. [ajnr.org]

An understanding of the mechanism of the decrease in smell could help to further elucidate the pathophysiology of these disorders or uncover new treatments. [30, 31] Gustatory dysfunction Much of what is perceived as a taste defect is truly a primary [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prevention
In cases such as this (which are extremely rare), it is thought that there are genetic or developmental errors that prevent the olfactory system from forming properly. [oebsciencecafe.org]

The head injury may also involve direct injury to the nose preventing odours travelling to the top of the nose (see How Smell Works for more information on the layout of our olfactory system). [fifthsense.org.uk]
