Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the leptin (LEP) or leptin receptor (LEPR) genes were assessed for their association with central precocious puberty (CPP). RESULTS: The control group with the A/G SNP at LEPR 223 or A/G SNP at LEPR 109 exhibited significantly higher peak luteinizing hormone (LH) levels. The leptin level in the CPP group was significantly higher than that in the...
