Abstract

Despite the clinical importance of delayed puberty, the understanding of this condition is hampered by the lack of studies evaluating etiologies and predisposing factors among large case series. We performed a retrospective study of clinical and laboratory data from adolescents (< or =18 yr of age) with delayed puberty who had been seen in our clinic between 1/96 and 7/99 (n = 232 subjects; 158 males and 74 females). Family histories of pubertal timing among primary relatives were classified as negative, having at least a tendency to pubertal delay (development > or =1 SD beyond the mean), or diagnostic of delay (development > or =2 SD beyond the mean). The most common cause of delayed puberty was constitutional delay of growth and maturation (CD), which affected 53% of the subjects (63% of males and 30% of females). The remaining subjects could be divided into four categories: those with an underlying condition associated with delayed, but spontaneous, pubertal development [functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (FHH)], 19% of subjects; those with permanent hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, 12% of subjects; those with permanent hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, 13% of subjects; and those without clearly classified disorders, 3% o...Continue Reading
