Endocrine disruptors and abnormalities of pubertal development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Onset and development of puberty is regulated by the neuroendocrine system. Population-based studies worldwide have observed secular trends towards earlier puberty development. These changes are apparently caused by environmental factors such as improved

Narcolepsy and rapid eye movement sleep

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Since the first description of narcolepsy at the end of the 19th Century, great progress has been made. The disease is nowadays distinguished as narcolepsy type 1 and type 2. In the 1960s, the discovery of rapid eye movement sleep at sleep onset led to improved understanding of core sleep‐related disease symptoms of the disease (excessive ...

Clinical Insights From a Case of Sifrim‐Hitz‐Weiss Syndrome With a CHD4 Variant: Expanding the Phenotypic Spectrum and Its Response to Growth Hormone Therapy

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 6, Page 1403-1410, June 2026.
ABSTRACT To enhance clinicians' understanding of Sifrim‐Hitz‐Weiss syndrome (SIHIWES), this study investigated the clinical phenotypes, genetic characteristics, and response to growth hormone therapy in a patient. A case of a patient with global developmental delay and distinctive facial features is presented.

Psychological assessment of mothers and their daughters at the time of diagnosis of precocious puberty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Concerns about psychological distress are often used to justify treatment of girls with precocious puberty, but there is little evidence to support these concerns.

Changes in sleep patterns in adolescents are more associated with pubertal indicators than age: A perfect storm with a dash of hormones

open access: yesBritish Journal of Developmental Psychology, Volume 44, Issue 2, Page 437-453, June 2026.
Abstract As they become older, adolescents tend to prefer sleeping and rising later. Yet, it is still unclear if these sleep changes occur due to advancing age or because adolescents are more pubertally mature. This was investigated cross‐sectionally in a sample of 121 Brazilian 9‐to‐17‐year‐olds.

Heterokairic Genes and the Eco‐Evo‐Devo of Timing

open access: yesEvolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 2, June 2026.
Heterokairic genes as the bridge (Heterokairic Pathways?): Heterokairic genes are heterochronic regulators whose activity is modulated by environmental conditions. External cues (e.g., temperature, nutrition, oxygen, density: yellow box) are sensed (yellow arrows) and converted into endocrine and metabolic signals (purple box and arrow into fish's ...

Commentary: Cognitive, Emotional and Psychosocial Functioning of Girls Treated with Pharmacological Puberty Blockage for Idiopathic Central Precocious Puberty [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Central precocious puberty (CPP) develops due to premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, resulting in early pubertal changes and rapid bone maturation.

The Clinical Spectrum and Neurodevelopmental Pathogenesis of KPTN‐Related Disorder in a Mouse Model

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1287-1302, May 2026.
Objective Pathogenic variants in Kaptin (KPTN) cause KPTN‐related disorder (KRD). KPTN modulates mTOR signaling activation within the KICSTOR complex in response to cellular amino acid levels. We define the clinical spectrum and investigate the developmental pathogenesis of KRD.

Estrone and estradiol concentrations in human ovaries, testes, and adrenals during the first two years of life [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
To determine the origin of estrogens in infant blood, we measured estrone (E1) and estradiol (E2) in the gonads of 50 girls and 64 boys who died suddenly between birth and 2 yr of age as well as in the adrenals of 18 of these infant girls and 16 of the ...
