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

Rare Types of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasias Other Than 21-hydroxylase Deficiency [PDF]
Although the most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) worldwide is 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD), which accounts for more than 95% of cases, other rare causes of CAH such as 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency (11β-OHD), 3-beta ...

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.

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 ...

Clinical and molecular characteristics of simple virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency: insight from a tertiary pediatric center in Vietnam [PDF]
Purpose Simple virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia (SV-CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by pathogenic variants of the CYP21A2 gene.

Case Report: Infant With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and 47,XXY
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a group of autosomal recessive disorders in which enzymes in the cortisol biosynthesis pathways are disrupted by gene mutations. The most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency,
