Lack of a genetic risk continuum between pubertal timing in the general population and idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Abstract excerpt

Pubertal timing is a highly heritable trait in the general population. Recently, a large-scale exome-wide association study has implicated rare variants in six genes (KDM4C, MC3R, MKRN3, PDE10A, TACR3, and ZNF483) as genetic determinants of pubertal timing within the general population. Two of the genes (TACR3, MKRN3) are already implicated in extreme disorders of pubertal timing. This observation suggests that...
