HLA-compatible paternity in two "fertile eunuchs" with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia (the Kallmann syndrome).

Two men are described who fulfill the criteria for both the Kallmann and the fertile eunuch syndrome, and we report the erythrocyte and HLA phenotypes of these men and their children. There were no paternal exclusions noted in red blood cell phenotypes encompassing seven separate red cell systems. The HLA phenotypes indicate that the probability that these men were the fathers of the children was greater than 99.99%.
