متن کامل[Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency].
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a general term applied to a group of several inherited enzymatic defects of cortisol biosynthesis. The most frequent cause of this disease is by far 21-hydroxylase deficiency which is considered one of the commonest metabolic disorders. The degree to which the activity of this enzyme is diminished correlates with the severity of congenital adrenal hyperplasia a...
متن کاملA Case of Bilateral Testicular Tumors Subsequently Diagnosed as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency
21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) caused congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive genetic disorders resulting from mutations in genes involved with cortisol (CO) synthesis in the adrenal glands. Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) are rarely the presenting symptoms of CAH. Here, we describe a case of simple virilizing CAH with TARTs, in a 15-year-old boy. The p...
متن کاملPsychological vulnerability to stress in carriers of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
OBJECTIVE Carriers of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) demonstrate increased secretion of cortisol precursors following ACTH stimulation, suggestive of impaired cortisol production and compensatory increases in hypothalamic corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) secretion. Both cortisol and CRH have behavioral effects, and hypothalamic CRH hypersecre...
متن کاملExperience in optimizing fertility outcomes in men with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency.
OBJECTIVE Men with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have impaired fertility. We aimed to assess fertility outcomes and the importance of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, testicular failure and the presence of testicular adrenal rest tumours (TART). DESIGN Retrospective analysis of men attending an adult CAH clinic in a tertiary centre. PATIENTS Fifty men with CAH due to 21 hydroxylase def...
