I was wondering if there is anyone here who knows anything about congenital anosmia, or perhaps has it, or has kids with this condition. My DBF has this condition, and I am wondering if we have children, what are the chances that they would inherit it?
It's basically a disability, they cannot smell at all. They wouldn't be able to smell a gas leak, be able to tell if food was bad, or smell smoke if there was a fire! My Dbf told me that he had some sort of testing done as a kid, and they determined that he was born without olfactory bulbs.
Anyone?

PS- He doesn't have Kallman's Syndrome, he was already tested for that.
