17-Hydroxyprogesterone Response to Standard Dose Synacthen Stimulation Test in CYP21A2 Heterozygous Carriers and Non-carriers in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Groups: Meta-analyses

open access: yesJCRPE, 2022
INTRODUCTION: Standard dose synacthen stimulation test (SDSST) is a gold standard screening test for evaluating adrenal gland function. Despite studies using SDSST to identify heterozygosity in CYP21A2, the reliability of the test for this purpose is ...

A 4-hour Profile of 17-hydroxyprogesterone in Salt-wasting Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Is the Serial Monitoring Strategy Worth the Effort?

open access: yesJCRPE, 2022
INTRODUCTION: Objective: Since there is no gold standard laboratory variable for adjustment of treatment in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), the aim was to assess the use of a 4-hour profile of serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) to determine the ...

Allele-specific and multiplex PCR based tools for cost-effective and comprehensive genetic testing in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

open access: yesMethodsX, 2022
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder due to enzyme defects in adrenal steroidogenesis. Several genes code for these enzymes, out of which mutations in the CYP21A2 gene resulting in 21 hydroxylase deficiency, contribute ...

Pathogenic variants in the CYP21A2 gene cause isolated autosomal dominant congenital posterior polar cataracts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Background: Congenital cataracts are the most common cause of visual impairment worldwide. Inherited cataract is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease.

Steroid 21-hydroxylase gene variants and late-life depression

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2021
Objectives A feature of late-life depression is alterations of the stress hormone system. The CYP21A2 gene encodes for the steroid 21-hydroxylase enzyme which is required for the biosynthesis of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, two main components

Characteristics of In2G Variant in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Substantial research has been performed during the last decades on the clinical and genetic variability of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and its most common form, 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD).

Molecular basis and genetic testing strategies for diagnosing 21-hydroxylase deficiency, including CAH-X syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2023
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomally recessive disorders that result from impaired synthesis of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid.

Implications of CYP21A2 gene duplications in carrier screening and prenatal diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 Hydroxylase deficiency

open access: yesIndian Pediatrics Case Reports, 2022
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.

DataSheet1_Variant predictions in congenital adrenal hyperplasia caused by mutations in CYP21A2.docx

open access: yes, 2022
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.
