| Abstract | Objectives Makorin ring finger protein 3 (MKRN3) is associated with the initiation of puberty, and loss of function mutation of MKRN3 is the most common genetic cause of central precocious puberty (CPP). A recent study reported that MKRN3 interacts with and suppresses neural pentraxin-1 precursor (NPTX1) activity via polyubiquitination during early puberty in the mouse hypothalamus. This study investigated the correlation between serum NPTX1 and MKRN3 in CPP girls and predicted the potential role of NPTX1 in pubertal progression. Methods In this case–control study, we examined 34 girls diagnosed with CPP and 34 healthy prepubertal girls. Anthropometric and hormonal parameters were measured and serum levels of NPTX1 and MKRN3 were evaluated with commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Results Serum MKRN3 level decreased significantly in CPP patients compared to controls (344.48 ± 333.77 and 1295.21 ± 780.80 pg/mL, respectively, p |
