Serum DLK1 During Minipuberty and Pubertal Transition in Healthy Girls and in Girls With Precocious Puberty
Circulating DLK1 levels declined steeply during infancy and were less pronounced through pubertal development. Due to considerable interindividual variation, DLK1 is not useful as a diagnostic marker of pubertal onset. Importantly, DLK1 was negatively associated with birth weight and body fat percentage.
