ANS: C In about 95% of cases, delayed puberty is a normal physiologic event. Hormonal levels are normal, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis is intact, and maturation is happening slowly. Only about 5% of the occurrences of delayed puberty are due to a disruption in the hypothalamus. Only about 5% of the occurrences of delayed puberty are due to a disruption in the pituitary. Ambiguity in sex determination could play a role in delayed puberty, but this occurrence is rare. REF: p. 800
