The synthetic forms of GnRH (Deslorelin, Histerelin, and Lupron) which suppress LH and FSH, and are used to treat the common, gonadotropin-dependent form of precocious puberty, are not effective in most girls with McCune-Albright syndrome. (references)

After studying many girls with McCune-Albright syndrome, however, researchers have learned that most do not appear to have early activation of the hypothalamus and pituitary, because the levels of LH and FSH are usually low, or similar to those of prepubertal children. (references)
