Brief Summary: This international cohort study of 404 patients identified rare likely damaging variants in the gene MECP2 in patients with central precocious puberty. Translational experiments showed that GnRH neurons in mice express Mecp2.Over the last few years, several studies have provided insight into the epigenetic regulation of the onset of puberty1-3. DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications and non-c...
