Abstract:Context: Self-limited delayed puberty (DP) segregates in an autosomal-dominant pattern, but the genetic basis is largely unknown. Although DP is sometimes seen in relatives of patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), mutations in genes known to cause HH that segregate with the trait of familial self-limited DP have not yet been identified. Objective: To assess the contribution of mutations in genes known to cause HH to the phenotype of self-limited DP. Design, Patients, and Setting: We performed whole… Show more
