  • Title: Normal minipuberty of infancy in boys with Prader-Willi syndrome.
    Author: Fillion M, Deal CL, Van Vliet G.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 2006 Dec; 149(6):874-6. PubMed ID: 17137911.
    Abstract:
    In 4 boys with Prader-Willi syndrome, 3 of whom had cryptorchidism, penile length and plasma testosterone levels at 5 to 10 weeks of life were normal. We suggest that cryptorchidism reflects decreased abdominal pressure rather than hypogonadism, which develops later from progressive degeneration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons.
