Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2014 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 ...

The Use of Routine Laboratory 17-Hydroxyprogesterone for Identification of Cases of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. [PDF]
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)ABSTRACT Background Clinical outcome studies of 21‐hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21OHD CAH) may be subject to selection bias due to incomplete case ascertainment. This study aimed to develop a methodology for identifying existing CAH cases and explore its utility to study clinical outcomes. Methods 17‐hydroxyprogesterone assays

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia [PDF]
Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, 2017 The congenital adrenal hyperplasias comprise a family of autosomal recessive disorders that disrupt adrenal steroidogenesis. The most common form is due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency associated with mutations in the 21-hydroxylase gene, which is located at chromosome 6p21.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
Dermato-Endocrinology, 2009 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.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia [PDF]
F1000Research, 2015 Congenital adrenal hyperplasia associated with deficiency of steroid 21-hydroxylase is the most common inborn error in adrenal function and the most common cause of adrenal insufficiency in the pediatric age group. As patients now survive into adulthood, adult health-care providers must also be familiar with this condition. Over the past several years,

Праці Наукового товариства імені Шевченка. Медичні науки, 2017 Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase defi ciency is one of the most common autosomal recessive hereditary diseases. The lack of cortisol synthesis leads to excessive stimulation of the adrenal glands by adrenocorticotropic hormone ...
