LIN28B polymorphisms are associated with central precocious puberty and early puberty in girls
PURPOSE Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers within LIN28B have been reported to be related to the timing of pubertal growth. However, no study has investigated the frequency of genetic markers in girls with precocious puberty (PP) or early puberty (EP). This study aimed to determine the frequency of putative genetic markers in girls with PP or EP. METHODS Genomic DNAs were obtained f...
متن کاملSerum vitamin D levels in girls with central precocious puberty
Precocious puberty can cause several adverse effects on final growth and social behavior in girls. Recently studies showed that low serum vitamin D levels might be associated with precocious puberty. The aim of this research was to investigate the association between serum vitamin D levels and central precocious puberty in girls. Girls with central precocious puberty under the age of 8 we...
متن کاملSerum bisphenol A levels in girls with central precocious puberty
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical widely used to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins lining food and beverage containers. A number of in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that BPA has an estrogenic effect by binding to the nuclear estrogen receptor, and early BPA exposure could in induce early puberty. However, effects of human exposure to BPA on pubertal onset and the associat...
متن کاملKISS1 Gene Polymorphisms in Korean Girls with Central Precocious Puberty
Kisspeptin/G-protein couple receptor-54 (GPR54) system plays a key role in the activation of the gonadotropic axis at puberty. Central precocious puberty (CPP) is caused by the premature activation of hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion. This study was aimed to identify KISS1 gene variations and to investigate the associations between KISS1 gene variations and CPP in Korean gi...
متن کاملSerum osteocalcin levels in girls with central precocious puberty
Objectives Bone plays metabolic roles through osteocalcin(OC) when it is released into the systemic circulation in uncarboxylated form. Identified novel metabolic roles of OC include increasing insulin secretion and sensitivity, energy expenditure, reduction of fat mass and mitochondrial proliferation and functional enhancement. The onset of puberty can be influenced metabolic factors. This stu...
