Talk:Familial male-limited precocious puberty

The
"The ﬁnal length of boys may be short due to a rapid advance in epiphyseal maturation"!!! What on Earth? What are they measuring? 203.118.191.178 01:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Overall height. A typical adult male might be six feet tall, and these boys are unlikely to reach their full height.  (The clue is in the word epiphyseal, which relates to the growth plates in long bones.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:13, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Inheritance chart is incorrect
Females are unaffected by this condition, but can be "carriers". The chart should reflect this by both color and text. Currently one of the daughters is labeled "Affected daughter" which is incorrect/misleading. She should be labeled "Unaffected 'carrier' daughter" and have a different color than the affected father and boy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.61.70 (talk) 02:25, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
