Abstract

Neurofibromatosis 1-associated optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) may co-occur with central precocious puberty (CPP). Using large language model-based data analysis from 2 NF centers, we compared OPGs in children with NF1, with and without CPP. CPP was associated with hypothalamic involvement, poorer vision, and a higher likelihood of OPG treatment.
