Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MKRN3 gene loss-of-function mutations cause central precocious puberty (CPP), whereas its deletion in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) paradoxically leads to hypogonadism. The mechanistic basis for these opposing reproductive phenotypes remains largely unclear. METHODS: We performed whole-exome sequencing in 98 Chinese CPP patients along with a systematic review of previously reported MKRN3 pathogenic and...
