Only patients who performed hormonal tests were included in this table. Pubertal stage evaluated with Tanner stage. Hypothalamus-pituitary-gonads axis evaluation: physiologic activation means we registered LH values > 1 mUI/ml, FSH values > 2 mUI/ml and < 10 mUI/ml, testosterone or estradiol levels adequate for age; not activated means LH values < 1 mUI/ml, FSH values < 2mUI/ml, testosterone or estradiol not detectable; normal mini-puberty means LH and FSH values similar to puberty values
