Familial male-limited precocious puberty (MPP) is described in a 10 year old patient with typical symptoms of the disease. Sequence analysis of genomic DNA clearly demonstrated a heterozygous T1193C transition in exon 11 of the LH receptor (LHR) gene, which results in M398T substitution in the second transmembrane helix of the protein product of this gene. The same mutation was found in the patient's mother and...
