Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several rare loss-of-function mutations of delta-like noncanonical notch ligand 1 (DLK1) have been described in non-syndromic children with familial central precocious puberty (CPP). OBJECTIVE: We investigated genetic abnormalities of DLK1 gene in a French cohort of children with idiopathic CPP. Additionally, we explored the pattern of DLK1 serum levels in patients with CPP and in healthy children at...
