Normosmic congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1675702254

This is a normosmic congenital condition which is characterised by hypogonadism due to an impaired secretion of gonadotropins, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), by the pituitary gland in the brain, and in turn decreased gonadotropin levels and a resultant lack of sex steroid production.
