To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2018 Feb 1;103(2):649-659A minimum level of energy availability is required for the onset of puberty, whereas increased fat mass has been shown to be associated with precocious onset of puberty1,2. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several loci for age at menarche also associated with obesity3-5. Whethe...

To read the full abstract: Sci Rep. 2017; 7(1): 7427Prenatal dexamethasone treatment has been suggested over three decades ago to prevent virilization of a female fetus affected with 21-hydroxylase deficiency due to genetic mutations in the CYP21A2 gene. However, current treatment guidelines for CAH regard this treatment still as experimental, mainly because follow-up studies of treated fetu...
