On this website you can find out more about our work, our team, and how to get in contact with us.
Genetics of Disordered Puberty Project: our aim is to identify genetic mutations that cause Central Precocious Puberty (CPP) and Delayed Puberty (DP). To achieve this we utilise various genetic testing methods to diagnose patients that have been referred to us. So far our cohort of referrals stands at >130 patients in whom we have found a genetic diagnosis in 28%.
If you have a patient with suspected CPP or DP please get in contact and we will endeavour to provide you with a genetic diagnosis completely free of charge.
Important: We are a purely research-based group and therefore all genetic diagnoses may have to be validated by a NHS or nationally accredited facility.
Mini-Puberty Induction with Gonadotropins (Mini-PInG) Study: our aim is to address whether gonadotropins are superior to testosterone for male infants with absent mini-puberty for gonadal development.
If you have a male infant under 9 months of age with suspected absent mini-puberty please get in contact to enroll the patient in our research study.
