A total of 1466 girls from 2 cross-sectional studies were included in the creation of the puberty nomograms.Intervention(s): None.Main Outcome Measure(s): Pubertal progression, specifically thelarche, reproductive hormones, genotype, and growth.Results: Twelve of 98 (12%) girls experienced TT. A larger proportion of girls with TT entered puberty by the pubarche pathway (50%) compared with girls with normal progression (15.4%), P = 0.014. Girls with TT progressed through puberty normally when evaluated using puberty nomograms. Reproductive hormones and growth velocity were lower at the first (transient) thelarche than the second (permanent) thelarche.Conclusion: TT is a frequent phenomenon that appears to be a peripheral occurrence independent of central puberty. It does not appear to affect subsequent pubertal progression as evaluated by our new puberty nomograms.",
