Background: Kallmann syndrome (KS), the prototype of anosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH), is charecterized with HH acompanied by anosmia, absence or hypoplasia of olfactory bulbus due to defective morphogenesis. Mutations in 10 genes have been reported to cause KS while can clarify the underlying molecular defect in about 30–50% of IHH/KS cases. Beside, PROK2 gene mutations are extremely rare cause of KS. Herein, we present KS due to a homozygo...
