| Scope note: | Development of SEXUAL MATURATION in boys and girls at a chronological age that is 2.5 standard deviations below the mean age at onset of PUBERTY in the population. This early maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis results in sexual precocity, elevated serum levels of GONADOTROPINS and GONADAL STEROID HORMONES such as ESTRADIOL and TESTOSTERONE. |

| Scope note | Familial precocious puberty in boys usually presents by age 4 with rapid VIRILIZATION and is also characterized by gonadotropin-independent testosterone secretion, low secretion of LUTEINIZING HORMONE, and advanced SPERMATOGENESIS in the testis. Mutations in the LHCGR gene have been identified. OMIM: 176410 |
