Article Abstract
Hypothalamic hamartomas (HHs) are nonneoplastic mass lesions located in the hypothalamus that can cause central precocious puberty (CPP) and/or gelastic seizures. Seckel syndrome 5 (OMIM210600, SCKL5) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic spectrum disorder characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, proportionate osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism, a wide range of intellectual disability, "bird-headed" facial features, and microcephaly with various structural brain abnormalities. Two siblings presented with short stature and small head circumference and were diagnosed with SCKL 5. The younger sister had HH with CPP and experienced a slipped capital femoral epiphysis during treatment. The 2 siblings had the same genetic variant but showed different phenotypes, which has not been reported previously; this study also as presents the first cases of SCKL5 diagnosed by genetic confirmation in Korea.

The fission yeast phosphate acquisition (PHO) regulon is repressed under phosphate-replete conditions by upstream lncRNA-mediated transcriptional interference. Inositol-1-pyrophosphates control phosphate homeostasis via their action as agonists of precocious PHO lncRNA 3'-processing/termination. Inositol pyrophosphatase-inactivating mutations that increase inositol-1-pyrophosphates elicit derepression of the PHO genes and a severe growth defect in YES medium.

Purpose: Parents of children newly diagnosed with central precocious puberty often face emotional stress and time-sensitive treatment decisions, highlighting the importance of family-centered care. This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between parental health literacy and medical decision conflict.
Methods: A total of 65 parents of children newly diagnosed with central precocious puberty were recruited.

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the most prevalent plasticizer worldwide, can enter the human body via various exposure pathways, including ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, and medical applications. It has been observed to exhibit characteristic patterns of accumulation in the female reproductive system. Research has demonstrated that DEHP poses a threat to reproductive health in females across various life stages.

Central precocious puberty (CPP) results from premature reactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and is increasingly recognized as a systemic condition linked to cardiometabolic health. Genetic mutations, particularly in imprinted genes such as and , are major monogenic causes of familial CPP, while rare activating variants in and highlight the pivotal role of kisspeptin signaling. Neuropeptides, including kisspeptin and neurokinin B, are central to pubertal regulation.

Background: The age of thelarche in girls has declined globally. While earlier menarche has been linked to higher breast density - a known risk factor for breast cancer - the association between earlier thelarche and breast density remains unclear.
Methods: 114 Girls presenting with idiopathic central precocious puberty without medication (ICPP), early thelarche (ET), and normal age at thelarche (NT) were recruited from pediatric endocrine clinics of three hospitals during the year of 2020-2021 in Hefei, Anhui Province, China and were followed up for 3-5 years.
