Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by resistance to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), leading to isolated glucocorticoid deficiency. This study aims to identify the genetic basis of FGD in a Chinese patient and investigate the functional consequences of the detected MC2R mutations. METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing was performed to detect...
