This report describes the use of bicalutamide and anastrozole in two subjects with familial male-limited precocious puberty. Clinical improvements include decreased facial acne and pubic hair. Most importantly, a marked decrease in growth velocity and skeletal advancement has been achieved.

The male-limited inheritance of Y chromosomes favors alleles that increase male fitness, often at the expense of female fitness. Determining the mechanisms underlying these sexually antagonistic effects is challenging because it can require studying Y-linked alleles while they still segregate as polymorphisms. We used a Y chromosome polymorphism in the house fly, , to address this challenge.

A rarely reported phenomenon of rapid-tempo puberty in which the physical changes of puberty and testosterone levels increase very rapidly has not been reported outside apart from in two reviews. The resulting rapid advancement of skeletal age causes early completion of growth with shorter adult stature than expected. This appears to be genetic given its occurrence in the present report in two families, one with three brothers, one with two.

Article Synopsis
- - Peripheral precocious puberty (PPP) is the early sexual maturation that occurs without influence from the central nervous system.
- - Diagnosis involves identifying the underlying causes, which can be congenital or acquired, and requires hormonal tests, imaging, and sometimes genetic analysis.
- - There are effective treatments for almost all forms of PPP, and ongoing research aims to improve these treatments and enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
Familial male-limited precocious puberty due to an activating mutation of the LHCGR: a case report and literature review.

Familial male-limited precocious puberty (FMPP) is a rare form of gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty that is caused by an activating mutation of the LHCGR gene. Herein, we report a case of FMPP with a mutation of the LHCGR gene in a Korean boy with familial history of precocious puberty through 3 generations. A 16-month-old boy presented with signs of precocious puberty, including pubic hair, acne, and increased growth velocity.

Precocious puberty (PP) means the appearance of secondary sexual characters before the age of eight years in girls and nine years in boys. Puberty is indicated in girls by the enlargement of the breasts (thelarche) in girls and in boys by the enlargement of the testes in either volume or length (testicular volume = 4 mL, testicular length = 25 mm, or both). Two types of PP are recognized - namely central PP (CPP) and peripheral PP (PPP).
