Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Self-limited delayed puberty (SLDP) is the most common cause of delayed puberty and exhibits high heritability, although few causal genes have been identified. This study aims to identify potential candidate genes associated with SLDP. METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing was conducted in 71 children with SLDP, most of whom presented with short stature. Rare coding variants were prioritized through...
