Horm Res PaediatrPublished Prospective cohort study protocol

Study context

Population
Children with premature adrenarche (PA) and age-matched healthy controls, followed from adrenarche through puberty into early adulthood; 2 centres (Kuopio, Finland; Bern, Switzerland)
Planned comparison
PA vs age-matched healthy controls
Methodological detailsmulticenter, longitudinal, age-matched healthy controls, multi-omics profiling, in vitro adrenal cell model validation, Phenotypic assessments incl. medical histories and body composition analyses; multi-omics (transcriptomics, metabolomics) by liquid and gas chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry and RNA sequencing
