US EditionHitler likely had genetic condition limiting sexual development: research
- On November 15, Channel 4 will premiere Hitler's DNA: Blueprint of a Dictator, revealing the first sequencing of Adolf Hitler's genome and genetic evidence of underdeveloped sex organs and high polygenic risk scores for autism, schizophrenia, and bipolar.
- An American colonel removed a bloodstain from Hitler's Berlin bunker sofa, which was authenticated by matching its Y chromosome to a known male relative before sequencing, with producer permission from a history museum.
- Genetic analysis identified a PROK2 deletion that reduces GnRH and testosterone, linked to Kallmann syndrome which can cause undescended testicles and sometimes a micropenis.
- Experts warned genetics can't fully explain behaviour and urged caution, as Professor Sir Simon Baron-Cohen and Dr Nicholas Wright stressed limits of polygenic scores, while documentary makers and producers confirmed repeated verification and sparked debate among scholars and clinicians.
- Sequencing also undercuts long-running ancestry myths, as genetic analysis suggests a mainly Austrian-German background, while Blink Films and ITV Studios raise ethical concerns about stigma.

For a TV documentary, British researchers have analyzed Adolf Hitler's genetic material. The alleged revelations are scientifically questionable, but even if they confirm themselves, they do not contribute much to the understanding of the greatest war criminal of all time.
German dictator Adolf Hitler suffers from Kalmann syndrome, a genetic disorder that combines normal puberty and the development of sexual organs, according to DNA analysis revealed in a paper produced by the British television station...

vijesti.meGroundbreaking research has led to fascinating discoveries about the dictator, from his origins to possible neurological disorders.
He had Kellmann syndrome, which prevents the normal course of puberty and development of the genitals.
Miracles exist. In May 1945, after the 'Führer' embraced death after a mixture of cyanide and Walter gun, the curiosity of an American officer who went through the boxer of the Chancellery changed the story. At the end of the month, Colonel Roswell P. Rosengren, from the press department of General Ike Eisenhower, fixed his gaze on the couch on which the dictator had committed suicide. Anxious to take a memory of that madness, pulled out his kni…
