Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasias Presenting in the Newborn and Young Infant
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia includes autosomal recessive conditions that affect the adrenal cortex steroidogenic enzymes (cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme; 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase; 17α-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase; P450 oxidoreductase; 21 ...

Management issues of congenital adrenal hyperplasia during the transition from pediatric to adult care [PDF]
Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most prevalent form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), accounting for approximately 95% of cases. With the advent of newborn screening and hormone replacement therapy, most children with CAH survive into ...

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia: focus on the molecular basis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in one of several steroidogenic enzymes involved in the synthesis of cortisol from cholesterol in the adrenal glands.

Molecular Diagnosis of Steroid 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency: A Practical Approach
Adrenal insufficiency in paediatric patients is mostly due to congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a severe monogenic disease caused by steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD, encoded by the CYP21A2 gene) in 95% of cases.

21-hydroxylase deficiency and fertility
21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most common genetically determined adrenal steroidogenesis defect. One of the consequences of the disease developing as a result of this defect, congenital dysfunction of the adrenal cortex (CDAC), is a decrease in fertility in the form of infertility or early pregnancy loss.

Background Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is caused by deletions, large gene conversions or mutations in CYP21A2 gene. The human gene is located at 6p21.3 within a locus containing the genes for putative serine/threonine ...
