Variations in the 3′UTR of the CYP21A2 Gene in Heterozygous Females with Hyperandrogenaemia
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 ...

Background Research indicates that the etiology of autism has a strong genetic component, yet so far the search for genes that contribute to the disorder, including several whole genome scans, has led to few consistent findings.

Genotype-Phenotype Correlation in 153 Adult Patients With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency: Analysis of the United Kingdom Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Adult Study Executive (CaHASE) Cohort [PDF]
Context: In congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, a strong genotype-phenotype correlation exists in childhood. However, similar data in adults are lacking.Objective: The objective of the study was to test whether the ...

Background: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder that presents as salt wasting or simple virilization (SV). It is due to biallelic mutations in the CYP21A2 gene that encodes the 21-hydroxylase enzyme.

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)

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia: focus on the molecular basis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in one of several steroidogenic enzymes involved in the synthesis of cortisol from cholesterol in the adrenal glands.

HIV Drug Efavirenz Inhibits CYP21A2 Activity with Possible Clinical Implications [PDF]
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The HIV drugs lopinavir and ritonavir have recently been reported to cause transient adrenal insufficiency in preterm newborns. We, therefore, considered HIV drugs as a cause of transiently elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) levels in a neonatal screening test for congenital adrenal hyperplasia in ...

Pubertal presentation in seven patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to P450 Oxidoreductase deficiency [PDF]
Context: P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is a crucial electron donor to all microsomal P450 cytochrome (CYP) enzymes including 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1), 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) and P450 aromatase.

Objective: CYP21A2 mutation heterozygote carriers seem to have an increased risk of hyperandrogenism. However, the clinical relevance of the heterozygote carrier status and the reliability of hormonal testing in discriminating a carrier from a non ...
