Early Puberty
Conditions
Brief summary
childhood obesity and early puberty are closely related, but existing reports usually focus on their relationship from the perspective of phenotype. This study was designed to investigate the association between obesity-related genic polymorphisms and the risk of early puberty in Chinese Han girls.
Detailed description
the genotypes of obesity-related SNPs were determined and the unstimulated luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and estradiol levels were also detected.
