Abstract excerpt
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) encompasses a group of autosomal recessive diseases characterized by enzymatic defects in steroid synthesis. Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia (LCAH) is the most severe form of CAH, insofar as the initial step of steroid synthesis is impaired. Variants in the steroid acute regulatory (STAR) gene are responsible for LCAH. To describe the clinical and genetic characteristics...
