Abstract excerpt
Two inborn errors in the methyl oxidation of corticosterone to form aldosterone correspond to the two oxygenation-hydroxylation reactions required for this transformation. Both defects are characterized by overproduction of corticosterone of glomerulosa zone origin and deficient synthesis of aldosterone. In the type 1 corticosterone methyl oxidase defect (CMO I) impairment in the first step is reflected in...
