Work in progress.- Medical Papers.

In the next few weeks these pages will be updated with links & information.

Listed here a few papers on Kallmann's and HH published in the last few years. They are all in Adobe format.

Just by reading the abstracts you can get a good idea of the paper's content, even if you don't want to read the full text. It is hoped that we will print abstracts or full papers here as and when they are published.
