'''Familial Male-Limited Precocious Puberty''' ('''FMPP'''), '''Familial Sexual Precocity''', or '''Gonadotropin-Independent Testotoxicosis''' is an [[intersex]] variation that effects [[AMAB]] and/or [[CTM]] individuals. It is unknown how common it is, however it is rare.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/familial-male-limited-precocious-puberty/#frequency}}</ref>
Those with this variation hit an early puberty, beginning 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/or not [[Sex-Favorable|sex-favorable]],) and increased height. Those with this variation 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 variation also have [[Hyperandrogenism|CTM hyperandrogenism]], which is one of the reasons for their early puberty.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/familial-male-limited-precocious-puberty/}}</ref>
== Causes ==
This variation 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 hormones.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/familial-male-limited-precocious-puberty/#causes}}</ref>
Because of this gene mutation, hormonal activity tends to begin early and at an increased rate, causing the individual to grow [[masculine]] traits at an early age.
== Flag ==
The FMPP flag was coined by [[User:Reign of the breadsticcs|Reign of the breadsticcs]] on May 7th of 2021. It has no confirmed meaning.
