The frequencies were 5.5% (1/18) for MKRN3 11% (2/18) for DLK1, and none for either KISS1, KISS1R, and PROKR2. Low serum DLK1 levels in affected individuals supported the relationship between here described novel DLK1 gene variants with CPP. Nonsense nature of c.357C>G/p.(Tyr119Ter) and an alteration in the evolutionarily conserved nucleotide c.67+78C>T suggested the disruptive nature of the variant's compatibility with CPP.
