'''Familial male-limited precocious puberty (FMPP)''', '''Familial Sexual Precocity''', or '''Gonadotropin-independent Testotoxicosis''' is an [[intersex]] conditionvariation that effects [[AMAB]] and/or [[CTM]] people. It is unknown how common it is, however it is rare.
Those with this conditionvariation hit an early puberty, beggining sexual development at the ages of 2-5. This may cause a lot of confusion within the child, as their mind is not yet developed to understand these changes within their body.
The changes include body hair, acne, a deepening voice, spontaneous erections, penile growth, sexual desire/interest at an early age (unless they are [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]],) and increased height. Those with this conditionvariation tend to stop growing at a very early age, due to their early puberty, and tend to be shorter than the rest of their family.
Those with this conditionvariation also have [[Hyperandrogenism|CTM hyperandrogenism]], which is one of the reasons for their early puberty.
== Causes ==
This conditionvariation is caused by mutations in the ''LHCGR'' gene. The ''LHCGR'' gene provides instructions for proteins that luteinize the hormone/chorionic gonadotropin receptor, which is what causes a stable development in androgens and other horomones.
Because of this gene mutation, horomonal activity tends to begin early and at an increased rate, causing the individual to grow [[masculine]] traits at an early age.
