What is the prevalence of Kallmann Syndrome?
Prevalence of Kallmann Syndrome: how many people are affected worldwide, differences by sex and region, with sources.
The condition has a low prevalence, estimated as being between 1 in 4,000 and 1 in 10,000 for male HH cases overall and 1 in 50,000 for Kallmann syndrome. It is three to five times more common in males than females. Though whether this is a true sex imbalance or a reflection on how difficult KS / HH is to diagnose correctly, especially in females, has yet to be fully established. Finnish population at 1 in 48,000, with a sex distinction of 1 in 30,000 for males and 1 in 125,000 for females.

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is estimated to affect between 1 in 4,000 and 1 in 10,000 males, of which about a half are Kallmann syndrome cases.
A recent study in Finland put the incidence at 1 in 48,000 people overall, with 1 in 30,000 for males and 1 in 125,000 for females.
The true figure is unknown but is probably under diagnosed in females.
