Steroid 21-hydroxylase gene variants and late-life depression
Objectives A feature of late-life depression is alterations of the stress hormone system. The CYP21A2 gene encodes for the steroid 21-hydroxylase enzyme which is required for the biosynthesis of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, two main components

Screening of endocrine organ-specific humoral autoimmunity in 47,XXY Klinefelter's syndrome reveals a significant increase in diabetes-specific immunoreactivity in comparison with healthy control men. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of humoral endocrine organ-specific autoimmunity in 47,XXY Klinefelter’s syndrome (KS) by investigating the autoantibody profile specific to type 1 diabetes (T1DM), Addison’s disease (AD), Hashimoto ...

Variations in the management of acute illness in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia: An audit of three paediatric hospitals [PDF]
Objective: Episodes of acute adrenal insufficiency (AI)/adrenal crises (AC) are a serious consequence of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). This study aimed to assess morbidity from acute illness in CAH and identify factors associated with use of IV ...

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia with Salt Wasting Crisis: A Case Report
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a group of autosomal recessive disorders due to deficiencies of enzymes involved in steroidogenesis. The most common form is a 21-hydroxylase deficiency which can be classical or non-classical.

21-Hydroxylase Genotyping in Australasian Patients with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia [PDF]
Mutations in CYP21 (21-hydroxylase) lead to congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). We genotyped 26 probands with CAH by PCR-sequencing the entire CYP21 gene. 25/26 had homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations.
