• Precocious puberty: Characterised by the onset of pubertal signs before the age of eight years in girls and nine years in boys
• Thyroid dysfunction: May affect normal growth and development, including puberty
• Cushing’s syndrome: A condition caused by excess secretion of the hormone cortisol, which may lead to symptoms such as weight gain, excess hair growth and menstrual irregularities in girls
