Brief Summary: This cross-sectional study identifies two pathogenic variants in the Delta-like noncanonical notch ligand 1 ( DLK1 ) gene in a French cohort of 121 children with idiopathic central precocious puberty (CPP).DLK1 is a noncanonical ligand of the Delta Notch pathway known to be involved in adipocyte differentiation. Its hypothalamic expression suggests a potential role in coordinating reproductive and metabolic functions. Pathogenic v...
