Abstract

The congenital muscular dystrophies (CMD) are autosomal-recessive disorders. Classical congenital muscular dystrophy is grouped as merosin-positive and merosin-negative (MN-CMD). Precocious puberty in girls has been defined by Marshal and Tanner in 1969. In most of the cases, precocious puberty is idiopathic and is related to premature release of gonadotrophins. So far, the association between merosin deficiency and precocious puberty has not been identified. We report a case of a child with precocious puberty who was diagnosed with merosin deficiency in infancy.
