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]

Congenital anosmia and hyposmia (decreased sense of smell) has been described in several syndromes, where Kallmann syndrome is the best defined. [gransking.fo]
And while a decrease in appetite is often reported in individuals with hyposmia, the lack of a noticeable effect in eating behaviors in individuals with ICA may be the result of being socialized without a sense of smell. [blogs.scientificamerican.com]

You may also want to contact a university or tertiary medical center in your area, because these centers tend to see more complex cases and have the latest technology and treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Unfortunately, there is currently no cure or treatment for congenital anosmia. [malacards.org]
Prognosis
Diagnosis - Congenital anosmia These home medical tests may be relevant to Congenital anosmia: * Cold and Flu: Home Testing: * Home Fever Tests * Home Ear Infection Tests * Home Flu Tests Prognosis - Congenital anosmia Not supplied. [checkorphan.org]
Monell researchers and physician-scientists at Thomas Jefferson University have collaborated for many years on clinical studies to evaluate the incidence and prognosis of anosmia and other smell disorders. [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]
Etiology of Smell and Taste Disorders Olfactory dysfunction Disturbances in olfaction can result from pathologic processes at any level along the olfactory pathway. [emedicine.medscape.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
Prevention - Congenital anosmia Not supplied. [checkorphan.org]
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]
J: Not exactly, I got to prove that there is something wrong with your brain… T: ha ha J: The most important thing about anosmia is awareness: Now that you're aware what's wrong, you can take steps to prevent dangerous situations, like having someone [brainfacts.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]
