Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia that results from a deficiency in one or another of the enzymes of CORTISOL biosynthesis. In most cases, 21-hydroxylation is impaired in the ZONA FASCICULATA of the ADRENAL CORTEX so that 17-HYDROXYPROGESTERONE (17-OHP) is not converted to 11-DEOXYCORTISOL. This causes excessive production of ANDROGENS and VIRILIZATION. Caused by germline mutations in the CYP21A2 gene. OMIM: 201910

Also Known As:

21 alpha hydroxylase deficiency; 21 hydroxylase deficiency; 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency; Adrenal hyperplasia III; Attenuated congenital adrenal hyperplasia; CYP21 deficiency; Congenital adrenal hyperplasia 1; LOCAH; Late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia; NCCAH; Non classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
