Clin Pediatr (Phila). 1986 Nov;25(11):559-61. doi: 10.1177/000992288602501103.

Abstract

Two sisters who presented with a similar growth pattern are described. They delivered with idiopathic intrauterine growth retardation and had an early adolescent growth spurt. The physical and endocrine findings suggested a potential relationship between intrauterine growth retardation and early puberty.
