An autosomal recessive form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to defective CORTICOSTEROID biosynthesis, which results in ANDROGEN excess, VIRILIZATION, and HYPERTENSION. The defect causes decreased synthesis of CORTISOL and CORTICOSTERONE in the ZONA FASCICULATA of the ADRENAL GLAND, resulting in accumulation of the precursors CORTODOXONE and 11-deoxycorticosterone, resulting in arterial hypertension. Mutations in the CYP11B1 gene have been identified. OMIM: 202010
