Abstract excerpt
Context: Although genetic factors play a pivotal role in male pubertal timing, genome-wide association studies have identified only a few loci. Genetic variation of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) action affects adult reproductive parameters and female pubertal timing. Objective: To investigate whether genetic variation affecting FSH action is associated with onset of puberty in boys. Design: Cross-sectional...
