Congenital adrenal hyperplasia and P450 oxidoreductase deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) comprises a group of autosomal recessive disorders, which are usually due to inactivating mutations in single enzymes involved in adrenal steroid biosynthesis. The characteristics of the biochemical and clinical phenotype depend on the specific enzymatic defect. In 21-hydroxylase and 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency only adrenal steroidogenesis is affected, whereas a defect in...
