21-Hydroxylase deficiency in Brazil [PDF]
We determined the frequency of large rearrangements and point mutations in 130 Brazilian patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency and correlated genotype with phenotype. The frequency of CYP21 deletions was lower (4.4%) than in most of the previous series

Genotype-phenotype correlation in patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency [PDF]
Introduction21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is the most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). However, patients with 21OHD manifest various phenotypes due to a wide-spectrum residual enzyme activity of different CYP21A2 mutations ...

Fertility in congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency: a review [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder affecting adrenal steroidogenesis, leading to cortisol deficiency, androgen oversecretion and adrenal glands’ hyperplasia.

Adrenal adenoma secreting 17-hydroxyprogesterone mimicking non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency [PDF]
In adrenal steroidogenesis, 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is a substrate for 21-hydroxylase, one of the crucial enzymes of the cortisol and aldosterone biosynthesis pathway.

CYP21 gene mutations in Brazilian patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency from the Amazon region [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (P450c21, CYP21) accounts for about 95% of all CAH cases. The incidence of CYP21 gene mutations has been extensively studied in the last years, but in Brazil it has been investigated ...

High‐Dose Hormone Replacement Therapy Improved Embryo Transfer Outcomes in a Woman With 21‐Hydroxylase Deficiency Who Had Persistently High Serum Progesterone Levels: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]
Women with 21‐hydroxylase deficiency have reduced fertility because of excessive production of adrenal androgen and progesterone, which can inhibit folliculogenesis, disturb the normal gonadotropin secretion pattern and development of the endometrium ...
