Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the Kallmann syndrome 1 sequence (KAL1) gene, located at chromosome Xp22.3, which encodes for the protein anosmin. The protein anosmin is important in the migration of neurons and olfactory nerves to the hypothalamus. Mutations at this locus have been identified in patients with Kallmann\'s syndrome, a form of hypothalamic hypogonadism.
