Objective: Genetic factors play a critical role in pubertal progression; however, mutations associated with central precocious puberty (CPP) have been reported only in four genes: KISS1, KISS1R, DLK1, and MKRN3. This study aimed to identify novel, potentially pathogenic variants in patients with familial CPP via whole-exome sequencing (WES).Methods: WES analysis was applied in 28 patients (25 girls and three...
