Less frequent types of CAH are 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (up to 8% of cases), 17α-hydroxylase deficiency, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, P450 oxidoreductase deficiency and StAR deficiencies.
A 46,XX girl presented with genital ambiguity and low renin hypertension; her 46,XY brother presented with precocious puberty.Hormonal studies suggested 11β-OHD.
We describe a new case of 11beta-OHD CAH caused by compound heterozygosity for a novel mutation in intron 7 and previously described mutation in exon 8 of CYP 11B1 gene.
Hormonal response to ACTH stimulation and HLA genotyping were determined in families of patients with 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
We hypothesize that the lack expression of CYP11B1 under the control of the CYP11B2 promoter in zona fasciculata may contribute to a cortisol defect as well as the resultant 11-OHD.
Less frequent types of CAH are 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (up to 8% of cases), 17α-hydroxylase deficiency, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, P450 oxidoreductase deficiency and StAR deficiencies.
Less frequent types of CAH are 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (up to 8% of cases), 17α-hydroxylase deficiency, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, P450 oxidoreductase deficiency and StAR deficiencies.
We performed molecular genetic analysis of the CYP11B1 gene in six patients with preliminary clinical diagnosis of 11β-OHD and four patients identified as potential 11β-OHD from a CAH cohort in which CYP21A2 gene mutations consecutively screened.
Neonatal salt-wasting and 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency in a child carrying a homozygous deletion hybrid CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase)-CYP11B1 (11 beta-hydroxylase).
A chimeric CYP11B1/CYP11B2 gene causes glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism (GRA), while the rare CYP11B2/CYP11B1 chimeric gene leads to 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (11-OHD).
Further analysis of variants in other hypertension-related genes, steroid synthesis and metabolism compensatory pathways, and/or the investigation of chimeric CYP11B genes are needed to clarify the phenotypic heterogeneity in 11β-hydroxylase deficiency.
We found the typical plasma steroid pattern of 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency and identified the R448H mutation in the CYP11B1 gene in a boy presenting with pseudoprecocious puberty at age 2 yr.
In order to clarify the underlying mechanism causing 11β-OHD, we performed the molecular genetic analysis of the CYP11B1 gene in a female patient diagnosed as classical 11β-OHD.
Two mutations in CYP11B1 have previously been reported in patients with 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency--Arg-448-->His and a 2-bp insertion in codon 394.
Prevalence, clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of classical 11 β-hydroxylase deficiency (11BOHD) in Turkish population and novel mutations in CYP11B1 gene.
