JCRPE, 2021 Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), usually due to biallelic variants in CYP21A2. Classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency is characterised by virilisation of the external genitalia in females ...

MUTATIONAL SPECTRUM OF THE STEROID 21-HYDROXYLASE GENE [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1993 Lesions in the gene encoding steroid 21-hydroxylase (CYP21) result in defective adrenal steroid synthesis; the severe forms are known as congenital adrenal hyperplasia. To facilitate.complete characterization of mutations in this region of landemly repeated genes, we have developed selective PCR amplification and direct sequencing of full-length ...

Monitoring treatment in pediatric patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is the most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. In most developed countries, newborn screening enables diagnosis of 21-OHD in asymptomatic patients during the neonatal period.

Twist-bend nematics and heliconical cholesterics: a physico-chemical analysis of phase transitions and related specific properties [PDF]
, 2021 Certain nematic liquid crystals, e.g., those formed by banana-shaped molecules, can exhibit a low-temperature twist-bend nematic (Ntb) phase. Upon addition of chiral dopants, a chiral version of the twist-bend phase (N*tb) can be observed below the conventional chiral nematic (N*) phase, while under electric field the N* phase is transformed into a ...

Pubertal presentation in seven patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to P450 Oxidoreductase deficiency [PDF]
, 2010 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.

Short-Term Fasting Attenuates Overall Steroid Hormone Biosynthesis in Healthy Young Women. [PDF]
, 2022 Context Fasting is stressful for the human body. It is managed by metabolic adaptations maintaining energy homeostasis and involves steroid hormone biosynthesis, but the exact interplay between energy and steroid metabolism remains elusive. Women with
