21-Hydroxylase Deficient Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to Maternal Uniparental Isodisomy [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD CAH) is an autosomal recessive genetic condition that results from pathogenic variants in the CYP21A2 gene.

Variant predictions in congenital adrenal hyperplasia caused by mutations in CYP21A2
CYP21A2 deficiency represents 95% of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) cases, a group of genetic disorders that affect steroid biosynthesis. The genetic and functional analysis provide critical tools to elucidate complex CAH cases.

Variations in the 3′UTR of the CYP21A2 Gene in Heterozygous Females with Hyperandrogenaemia [PDF]
Heterozygosity for CYP21A2 mutations in females is possibly related to increased risk of developing clinical hyperandrogenism. The present study was designed to seek evidence on the phenotype-genotype correlation in female children, adolescents, and ...

Case Report: Compound heterozygous mutation comprising p.Pro31Leu and exons 1–3 ins/del variants in CYP21A2 causes non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia in a Chinese girl [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is caused by variants in the CYP21A2 gene and subsequently results in 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The non-classic form of CAH (NCCAH) often occurs in late puberty or in young adults due to a mild excess in postnatal ...

CYP21A2 Mutations in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
The question of the contribution of CYP21A2 heterozygosity to the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has repeatedly been raised in the literature. The available data, however, do not offer a satisfactory answer. The discrepancy must be attributed, primarily, to the small number of subjects in the various studies, the type of selected ...

ObjectiveThe study aimed to identify the pathogenic status of p.Gln319Ter (NM_000500.7: c.955C>T) variant when inherited in a single CYP21A2 gene (bimodular RCCX haplotype) and to discriminate between a non-causing congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)

In Silico Structural and Biochemical Functional Analysis of a Novel CYP21A2 Pathogenic Variant [PDF]
Classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) caused by pathogenic variants in the steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21A2) is a severe life-threatening condition. We present a detailed investigation of the molecular and functional characteristics of a novel pathogenic variant in this gene.
