Male-limited precocious puberty (also known as familial sexual precocity and gonadotropin-independent testotoxicosis)[1] is a form of gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty in which boys experience early onset and progression of puberty.[2] Signs of puberty can develop as early as an age of 1 year.

The spinal length in boys may be short due to a rapid advance in epiphyseal maturation. It is an autosomal dominant[1] condition with a mutation of the LH receptor. Treatment is with drugs that suppress gonadal steroidogenesis, such as cyproterone acetate, ketoconazole or spironolactone and testolactone.[3]

Male-limited precocious puberty has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance.
