Treatment and Outcome of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency
The use of glucocorticoids to treat individuals with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) was first reported by both Wilkins and Bartter in 1950. Since that time, the care of these patients has improved dramatically, and through the efforts of dedicated medical researchers, it continues to improve today. With early detection by newborn screening, initiation of treatment in infants with salt-was...
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 کاملRecent advances in biochemical and molecular analysis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency
The term congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) covers a group of autosomal recessive disorders caused by defects in one of the steroidogenic enzymes involved in the synthesis of cortisol or aldosterone from cholesterol in the adrenal glands. Approximately 95% of all CAH cases are caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency encoded by the CYP21A2 gene. The disorder is categorized into classical forms, in...
