[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 کاملCongenital adrenal hyperplasia due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency: an Endocrine Society clinical practice guideline.
OBJECTIVE We developed clinical practice guidelines for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). PARTICIPANTS The Task Force included a chair, selected by The Endocrine Society Clinical Guidelines Subcommittee (CGS), ten additional clinicians experienced in treating CAH, a methodologist, and a medical writer. Additional experts were also consulted. The authors received no corporate funding or re...
متن کاملRapid second-tier molecular genetic analysis for congenital adrenal hyperplasia attributable to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
BACKGROUND Neonatal screening for steroid 21-hydroxylase (CYP21) deficiency is performed to identify congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The immunologic assay for 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) has a high rate of false positives. We assessed the potential for increasing the specificity for CAH by use of a second step involving analysis of the CYP21 gene. METHODS Between January 1999 a...
