Delayed puberty is : lack of testicular enlargement in boys by 14 & lack of breast enlargement in girls by 13, so she needs to be patient. If 3 -generation family members are tall, skinny & hypertensive since childhood, your sister's doctor will refer her to a pediatric cardiologist, pediatric ophthalmologist, geneticist & possibly an orthopedist to rule out Marfan Syndrome & other connective tissue disorders.
