Aromatase deficiency in men: a clinical perspective [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Endocrinology, 2009
Human aromatase deficiency is a very rare syndrome characterized by congenital estrogen deprivation that is caused by loss-of-function mutations in CYP19A1, which encodes aromatase. Here, we review the presentation, diagnosis and treatment of aromatase deficiency in men to provide useful advice for clinical management of the condition. At presentation,

Human models of aromatase deficiency

Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008
Estrogens exert a wide range of biological effects in both sexes also on non-reproductive systems and organs. Human congenital estrogen deficiency, due to an inactivating mutation of the aromatase gene, leads to the lack of the estrogen synthesis, with gonadotropins and circulating testosterone ranging from normal to elevated.

Effect of Testosterone and Estradiol in a Man with Aromatase Deficiency

New England Journal of Medicine, 1997
Recent reports of disruptive mutations of the genes for the estrogen receptor or for cytochrome P-450 aromatase1–6 have shed new light on the role of estrogen. In females the lack of estrogen due to aromatase deficiency leads to pseudohermaphroditism and progressive virilization at puberty, whereas in males pubertal development is normal. In members of

Aromatase deficiency in an Ontario Old Order Mennonite family

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021
Abstract Objectives Aromatase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disease that results in the absence of aromatase. In females it presents with ambiguous genitalia and lack of secondary sexual characteristics during puberty.

Congenital aromatase deficiency – A virilizing masquerade!

Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes, 2022
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is the most common cause of disorder of sex development in an XX individual. While 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) gene mutation is the most common subtype of CAH, aromatase deficiency due to mutations in the gene CYP19A1 is a rare subtype.

A Case of Female Pseudohermaphroditism Caused by Aromatase Deficiency

open access: yesClinical Pediatric Endocrinology, 2004
Female pseudohermaphroditism is caused by several etiologies. Here we report a case of aromatase deficiency who showed ambiguous genitalia and maternal virilization during pregnancy. The mother had noticed her own virilization from 16 wk of gestation without androgen exposure and had low urinary estriol levels (5~10 μg/ml at 35 wk of gestation).

Bone phenotype of the aromatase deficient mouse

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2001
Estrogens are important for normal bone growth and metabolism. The mechanisms are incompletely understood. Thus, we have undertaken characterization of the skeletal phenotype of aromatase (ArKO) deficient mice. No abnormalities have been noted in skeletal patterning in newborns.
