Whilst several key genetic contributors to the phenotype of central precocious puberty (CPP) have been recognized, many familial cases remain without clear a genetic aetiology. Causal genetic variants are reported in imprinted genes Makorin ring finger protein 3 (MKRN3) and Delta-like homolog 1 (DLK1), alongside Kisspeptin-1 (KISS1) and (KISSR1), implicating mis-regulation of transcriptional control of the kisspeptin and GnRH neuroendocrine systems in onset of CPP. We recently...
