Hiperplasia Congénita da Suprarrenal por Deficiência de 21-Hidroxílase: Correlação Genótipo-Fenótipo
Introdução: A hiperplasia congénita da suprarrenal por deficiência de 21-hidroxílase constitui uma das doenças hereditárias mais comuns. Resulta de diferentes mutações no gene CYP21A2 e, na maioria dos casos, a gravidade da doença correlaciona-se com a ...

Sex assignment in conditions affecting sex development [PDF]
The newborn infant with atypical genitalia presents a challenging clinical scenario and requires expert input. There have been appreciable advances in our knowledge of the underlying causes that may lead to a mere difference or a more serious disorder of

Increased cardiovascular and metabolic morbidity in patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency : a Swedish population-based national cohort study [PDF]
CONTEXT: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is lethal in its most severe forms if not treated with glucocorticoids. However, glucocorticoids may increase the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic morbidity.

Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells into steroid-producing cells. [PDF]
Although there have been reports of the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells into steroid-producing cells, the differentiation of human ES/induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into steroid-producing cells has not ...

Functional polymorphisms in the CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP21A2 genes in the risk for hypertension in pregnancy [PDF]
An intronic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CYP3A5 gene (CYP3A5*3; SNP rs776746) affects RNA splicing and enzymatic activity. The CYP3A5*3 frequency increased with distance from the equator and natural selection has been proposed to explain ...
