The authors present 2 girls with progressive encephalopathy, hypsarrhythmia, and optic atrophy syndrome. They describe a novel finding, precocious puberty, a feature not previously reported in this syndrome. The authors also present their clinical features and the results of investigations, including radiological findings, and compare the patients of this report to previously reported cases.

Background: The Hezuo (HZ) pig, a famous indigenous breed in China, is characterized by precocious puberty compared with foreign-introduced pig breeds. Sexual maturation is a complex physiological process, and in recent years, circular RNAs (circRNAs), a new class of noncoding RNAs with endogenous regulatory functions, have been shown to play important roles in regulating sexual maturation. However, the dynamic expression and regulatory mechanism of circRNAs during sexual maturation in HZ pigs remain unclear.

The ARCN1 gene encodes the delta subunit of the coatomer protein complex I (COPI), which is essential for mediating protein transport from the Golgi complex to the endoplasmic reticulum. Variants in ARCN1 are associated with clinical features such as microcephaly, microretrognathia, intrauterine growth restriction, short rhizomelic stature, and developmental delays. We present a case of a patient exhibiting intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth, microcephaly, micrognathia, and central precocious puberty.

Objectives: To establish an efficient and clinically applicable predictive model and scoring system for central precocious puberty (CPP) in girls, and to develop a diagnostic prediction application.
Methods: A total of 342 girls aged 4 to 9 years with precocious puberty were included, comprising 216 cases of CPP and 126 cases of isolated premature thelarche. Lasso regression was used to screen for predictive factors, and logistic regression was employed to establish the predictive model.

Central precocious puberty (CPP) is an endocrine disease in children, characterized by rapid genital development and secondary sexual characteristics before the age of eight in girls and nine in boys. The premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPGA) limits the height of patients in adulthood and is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. How to prevent and improve the prognosis of CPP is an important problem.
