Congenital adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a disease in which a gene mutation, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, causes a disorder in the synthesis of enzymes that create glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, or sex steroids from adrenal ...

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a group of autosomal recessive disorders encompassing enzyme deficiencies in the adrenal steroidogenesis pathway that lead to impaired cortisol biosynthesis. Depending on the type and severity of steroid block, patients can have various alterations in glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, and sex steroid production that ...

Adrenal Steroidogenesis and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia [PDF]
Adrenal steroidogenesis is a dynamic process, reliant on de novo synthesis from cholesterol, under the stimulation of ACTH and other regulators. The syntheses of mineralocorticoids (primarily aldosterone), glucocorticoids (primarily cortisol), and adrenal androgens (primarily dehydroepiandrosterone and its sulfate) occur in separate adrenal cortical ...

Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (lipoid CAH) is the most fatal form of CAH, as it disrupts adrenal and gonadal steroidogenesis. Most cases of lipoid CAH are caused by recessive mutations in the gene encoding steroidogenic acute regulatory protein ...

Summary: Adrenal insufficiency is managed by hormone replacement therapy, which is far from optimal; the ability to generate functional steroidogenic cells would offer a unique opportunity for a curative approach to restoring the complex feedback ...

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia consists of a heterogenous group of inherited disorders due to enzymatic defects in the biosynthetic pathway of cortisol and/or aldosterone. This results in glucocorticoid deficiency, mineralocorticoid deficiency, and androgen excess. 95% of CAH cases are due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

11β Hydroxylase Deficiency in a Child with Hypothyroidism: A Case Report
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs due to enzymatic defects in the adrenocortical steroidogenesis. 11β hydroxylase deficiency is the second most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia which presents with hypertension and features of androgen ...
