Background: The etiology of central precocious puberty (CPP) still remains unknown. The abnormal expression of Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO)-mediated N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been confirmed to play the crucial roles in CPP. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of FTO-mediated m6A modification of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on CPP with puberty onset.Methods: The qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence...
