Channel 4 Documentary Claims Hitler’s DNA Indicates Kallmann Syndrome and Elevated Psychiatric Risk Scores

The film, airing Saturday, draws on a blood‑stained bunker cloth that producers say yielded a repeatedly verified genetic profile.

Overview

  • Producers say the analysis points to Kallmann syndrome, a condition in males linked to low testosterone and undescended testicles.
  • Polygenic scoring reportedly placed Hitler in the top 1% for genetic risk of autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, which researchers stress are indicators rather than diagnoses.
  • The DNA profile was built from blood on fabric said to have been cut from Hitler’s Führerbunker sofa in 1945 by US Army Colonel Roswell P. Rosengren.
  • The program-makers report no genetic evidence supporting rumors of Jewish ancestry.
  • Lead geneticist Turi King cites repeated reanalysis to ensure rigor and says genetics cannot excuse behavior, with independent experts warning against stigmatizing people with neurodiverse or mental‑health conditions.
