A report of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17α-hydroxylase deficiency in two 46,XX sisters

Abstract: 2 http://sciforum.net/conference/mol2net-05 Conclusion:We report a homozygous missense mutation in the CYP17A1 gene causing 17OHD in two sisters from Loja, Ecuador. According to the authors, this is the first time such deficiency and mutation are described in two members of the same family in Ecuador.

“…Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is an autosomal recessive disorder due to a deficiency of one or more enzymes in the steroidogenesis process 1,8 . The most common CAH disorders are caused by 21‐hydroxylase deficiency, accounting for approximately 90%–95% of all CAH cases, 9 and the remaining 5%–8% of CAH cases are largely attributed to 11β‐hydroxylase deficiency 10,11 . The 17 alpha‐hydroxylase deficiency is a rare form of CAH, accounting for approximately 1% of CAH cases with an estimated incidence of approximately 1 in 1,000,000 newborns 3,8 .…”

“…CAH is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the genes encoding essential enzymes for the synthesis of corticosteroids. As a result of the imbalance between glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, this leads to metabolic disorders, and thus morbidity and mortality in these patients are very high[ 9 ]. The enzymes involved include 21-hydroxylase, 11β-hydroxylase, 17α-hydroxylase, 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase etc .…”

“…The CYP17A1 enzyme plays a crucial role in the steroidogenic pathway that is responsible for the synthesis of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, androgens, estrogens, and progestins. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a rare inherited disorder that affects both sexes [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Children and adolescents with CAH are at a high risk of obesity, owing to 21-hydroxylase deficiency [ 14 ].…”
