Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms can be present in patients with central precocious puberty (CPP), with or without abnormalities in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, they are especially common in those with CPP-related lesions.Aim: To assess the prevalence of brain lesions detected by MRI in a cohort of children with CPP and to evaluate the occurrence of neuropsychiatric manifestations.<p class="a...

Background: MKRN3 is known to decline prior to pubertal development in healthy individuals, indicating a potential inhibitor effect on reproductive axis. Currently, MKRN3 loss-of-function mutations represent the main genetic cause of familial central precocious puberty (CPP) in both sexes. The impact of these mutations on MKRN3 serum levels is poorly understood.Aim: To assess serum MKRN3 levels in girls with CPP...
