Triptorelin Test in Idagnosing Central Precocious Puberty

Vukovic Rade , Milenkovic Tatjana , Mitrovic Katarina , Todorovic Sladjana , Plavsic Ljiljana , Soldatovic Ivan

Introduction: GnRH test is standard in confirming the diagnosis of central precocious puberty (CPP). However, GnRH (Relefact) is not always readily available in Serbia and several other countries. Two studies so far have assessed use of triptorelin in diagnosing CPP, with different sampling protocols, and in only one of these studies were triptorelin test findings compared to GnRH test findings.Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of triptoreli...

Foot Length Growth is a Novel Marker of Early Puberty

Balzer Ben , Lun Cheng Hoi , Garden Frances , Luscombe Georgina , Paxton Karen , Hawke Catherine , Handelsman David , Steinbeck Katharine

Introduction: Pubertal growth is hormone dependent. The anthropometric (height, weight) and sexual (Tanner stage (TS)) changes are accompanied by growth in foot length. However, the relationship between changes in foot length and other anthropometry remains unclear. Our aim was to determine how changes in foot length relate to growth parameters (height and weight), self-rated TS and serum sex steroids.Methods: We used data from the Adolescent Rural Cohor...

Background: Prader orchidometry has been the standard method for evaluating testicular size. As this technique is subjective and tends to overestimate the testicular volume, ultrasound has been proposed as a more reliable method.Objective: To evaluate the intra- and inter-observer agreement of ultrasound measurements of testicular volume and comparison with Prader orchidometry.Materials and methods: Length, width and depth of the r...

Longitudinal Follow-up to Near Final Height of Auxological Changes in Girls with Idiopathic Central Precocious Puberty Treated with Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Analog and Grouped by Pretreatment BMI level

Park Jongho , Kim Yong-Dae , Han Heon-Seok

Purpose: Reported changes in BMI in central precocious puberty (CPP) during and after gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) treatment are inconsistent. We, therefore, investigated auxological parameters in GnRHa-treated girls with idiopathic CPP (ICPP) until attainment of near final height (NFH).Methods: From the medical records of 59 ICPP girls who attained NFH after GnRHa therapy, auxological changes were compared between overweight (BMI &#8805...

A Novel Inactivating Compound Heterozygous Mutation in KISS1R/GPR54: Cases of Three Siblings

Nalbantoglu Ozlem , Arslan Gulcin , Koprulu Ozge , Hazan Fılız , Gursoy Semra , Ozkan Behzat

Introduction: Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide, encoded by the KISS1 gene, which acts upstream of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons and also has a critical role for maturation and function of the reproductive axis. Inactivating mutations of its receptor (KISS1R) cause normosmic isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH). In this report, we aim to present three siblings who have IHH due to novel compound heterozygous KISS1R mutation.Cas...

Incidence of Delayed Puberty in Adolescents. A Population-Based Study in a County in Central Sweden

Rodanaki Maria , Rask Eva , Lodefalk Maria

Introduction: Delayed puberty is defined as the absence of physical signs of puberty by the age of 14 years in boys and 13 years in girls. According to this definition, the prevalence of delayed puberty would be 2%, if the ages of pubertal onset were normally distributed in the population. However, the prevalence or incidence of delayed puberty has not been described before, as far as we know. Our aim was to study the incidence of delayed puberty in central Sweden.<p class...

Puberty is a physical, hormonal and psychosocial transition from childhood to adolescence. Precocious puberty (PP) is the beginning of secondary sexual characteristics before eight years of age in girls. The most common type is known as central precocious puberty (CPP). CPP occurs due to early activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis. Although the real trigger for idiopathic CPP is unknown, it has been proposed that it may be caused by the interact...
