Familial corticosteroid-binding globulin deficiency due to a novel null mutation: association with fatigue and relative hypotension.

Abstract excerpt

Corticosteroid-binding globulin is a 383-amino acid glycoprotein that serves a hormone transport role and may have functions related to the stress response and inflammation. We describe a 39-member Italian-Australian family with a novel complete loss of function (null) mutation of the corticosteroid-binding globulin gene. A second, previously described, mutation (Lyon) segregated independently in the same...
