Background: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is caused by the deletion of the paternally-derived 15q11-13 region or the maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15 (mUPD(15)). Puberty is usually delayed and central precocious puberty (CPP) is very rare in PWS.Objective and hypotheses: This study was undertaken to correlate clinical features focusing on pubertal progression with genotype with or without MKRN3 deletion to understand the mechanism of C...
