Genetics of congenital adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is one of the most common inherited metabolic disorders. It comprises a group of autosomal recessive disorders caused by the deficiency of one of four steroidogenic enzymes involved in cortisol biosynthesis or in the electron donor enzyme P450 oxidoreductase (POR) that serves as electron donor to steroidogenic ...

The Complexities in Genotyping of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency
The deficiency of 21-hydroxylase due to CYP21A2 pathogenic variants is a rather frequent disease with serious consequences, going from a real mortality risk to infertility and to milder symptoms, nevertheless important for affecting the patients' self ...

High‐end normal hemoglobin levels are associated with an increased odds of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), potentially through a mechanism of elevating testosterone levels involving the hypoxia‐inducible factor 1 (HIF‐1) pathway. These findings provide novel insights into the pathophysiology of PCOS and highlight that hemoglobin levels may serve as a

Expanded carrier screening for inherited genetic disease using exome and genome sequencing
Abstract The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of using exome (ES) and genome sequencing (GS) in guiding preconception genetic screening (PCGS) for couples who are planning to conceive by creating a workflow for identifying risk alleles for autosomal recessive (AR) and X‐linked (XL) disorders without the constraints of a predetermined ...
