Aldosterone synthase deficiency type II with hypospadias.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aldosterone synthase deficiency (ASD) type II was diagnosed in a 3 week old boy with severe dehydration. Elevated plasma renin activity, low-normal aldosterone, increased levels for 18-OH corticosterone (18-OHB) and 18-OH-deoxycorticosterone were measured. Sequencing revealed a homozygous mutation for c554C > T in exon 3 (p.T185I) (CYP11B2). Hypospadias has so far not been reported in ASD.

Aldosterone deficiency and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism prevent angiotensin II-induced cardiac, renal, and vascular injury
Angiotensin II causes cardiovascular injury in part by aldosterone-induced mineralocorticoid receptor activation, and it can also activate the mineralocorticoid receptor in the absence of aldosterone in vitro. Here we tested whether endogenous aldosterone contributes to angiotensin II/salt-induced cardiac, vascular, and renal injury by the mineralocorticoid receptor. Aldosterone synthase knocko...
متن کاملProximal hypospadias in a male patient with 5-reductase deficiency: A case reports
Proximal hypospadias in a male patient with 5-reductase deficiency: A case reports Erol Basuguy, Selcuk Otcu Abstract Hypospadias is a congenital disorder of male external genital. The newborn showed penoscrotal hypospadias with chordee and microphallus. Endocrine data and a normal male karyotype were suggestive of 5-reductase deficiency. Penoscrotal hypospadias repair of the patient was made.
متن کاملCorticosterone Methyl Oxidase Deficiency Type 1 with Normokalemia in an Infant
Isolated aldosterone synthase deficiency may result in life-threatening salt-wasting and failure to thrive. The condition involves hyperkalemia accompanying hyponatremia. Two types of aldosterone synthase deficiency may be observed depending on hormone levels: corticosterone methyl oxidase type 1 (CMO 1) and CMO 2. Herein, we describe a Turkish infant patient with aldosterone synthase deficienc...
متن کاملThe clinical significance of aldosterone synthase deficiency: report of a novel mutation in the CYP11B2 gene
BACKGROUND Aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, usually presenting with severe salt-wasting in infancy or stress-induced hyperkalaemia and postural hypotension in adulthood. Neonatal screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia, another cause of salt wasting, using 17-hydroxyprogesterone measurement would fail to detect aldosterone synthase deficienc...
متن کاملMechanisms of renal control of potassium homeostasis in complete aldosterone deficiency.
Aldosterone-independent mechanisms may contribute to K(+) homeostasis. We studied aldosterone synthase knockout (AS(-/-)) mice to define renal control mechanisms of K(+) homeostasis in complete aldosterone deficiency. AS(-/-) mice were normokalemic and tolerated a physiologic dietary K(+) load (2% K(+), 2 days) without signs of illness, except some degree of polyuria. With supraphysiologic K(+)...
