Brief Answer:
Endocrine

Detailed Answer:
I follow what you are saying.

Your son needs to be examined thoroughly by a paediatric endocrinologist.

There are some medical conditions that can cause children to have abnormally faster growth. He needs to be checked out for these. Some tests that will likely be ordered by the specialist could be:

CBC
CMP
TSH
Free T4
Bone age X rays

Further hormone tests like

Serum Total Testosterone
FSH
LH

will be considered based upon findings on physical examination and from results of preliminary testing.
