Delayed Bone Maturation and Extended Growth Phase as Distinctive Features of 17α‐Hydroxylase/17,20‐Lyase Deficiency: A Retro‐Prospective Study of a Large Patient Cohort

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Worldwide, combined 17‐hydroxylase/17,20‐lyase deficiency (CYP17D) is a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but it is the second most prevalent type in Brazil. An absence of sexual differentiation and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism arise from a reduction in the usual pattern of sex steroid formation in the adrenals and ...
