Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adrenal hyperplasia is typically a characteristic of heterosexual precocious puberty, which is characterized by the onset of puberty before the age of 8 in boys and before the age of 9 in girls. In contrast, incomplete precocious puberty is characterized by the development of some but not all secondary sexual characteristics. Isosexual precocious puberty refers to early puberty in which the child's development is synchronized with their biological sex, while homosexual precocious puberty refers to early puberty in which the child's development is inconsistent with their biological sex.
