Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: 17α-Hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency (17OHD) caused by a mutation in the CYP17A1 gene is characterized by hypertension, hypokalemia, and abnormal development of the genitalia. The majority of CYP17A1 mutations are located in the coding sequence, and several intronic splicing site mutations have been reported. OBJECTIVE: A 2.5-year-old girl with 46,XY disordered sex development exhibited a nearly...
