Steroid 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (11β-OHD) is the second most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Mutations in theCYP11B1gene, which encodes steroid 11β-hydroxylase, are responsible for this autosomal recessive disorder. Here, we describe the molecular genetics of two previously reported male siblings in whom diagnosis of 11β-OHD has been established based on their hormonal profiles displaying high levels of 11-deoxycortisol and hyperandrogenism. Both patients are compound heterozygous for a novel p.E67fs (c.199delG) mutation in exon 1 and a p.R448H (c.1343G>A) mutation in exon 8. We also report the biochemical and molecular genetics data of one new 11β-OHD patient. Sequencing of theCYP11B1gene reveals that this patient is compound heterozygous for a novel, previously undescribed p.R141Q (c.422G>A) mutation in exon 3 and a p.T318R (c.953C>G) mutation in exon 5. All three patients are of Croatian (Slavic) origin and there is no self-reported consanguinity in these two families. Results of our investigation confirm that most of theCYP11B1mutations are private. In order to elucidate the molecular basis for 11β-OHD in the Croatian/Slavic population, it is imperative to performCYP11B1genetic analysis in more patients from this region, since so far only four patients from three unrelated Croatian families have been analyzed.

21 Hydroxylase Deficiency

11β-hydroxylase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to impaired steroidogenesis in the adrenal cortex caused by pathogenic mutations in the CYP11B1 gene. The main clinical manifestations are determined by a deficiency of cortisol, ACTH hyperproduction, excessive androgens secretion and the accumulation of 11-deoxycorticosterone, which leads to the development of arterial hypertension. In the diagnostic search, it is important to take into account the ethnicity of the patient, since the frequency of the disease and the prevalence of mutations differ between ethnic groups. The article presents a clinical case of 11β-hydroxylase deficiency as the result of compound heterozygous mutations in the CYP11B1 gene in a patient of Turkic origin. This case shows the clinical manifestations and the development of complications of 11β-hydroxylase deficiency, the stages of differential diagnosis of patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

21 Hydroxylase Deficiency

AbstractCongenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in one of several steroidogenic enzymes involved in the synthesis of cortisol from cholesterol in the adrenal glands. More than 90% of cases are caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and the severity of the resulting clinical symptoms varies according to the level of 21-hydroxylase activity. 21-Hydroxylase deficiency is usually caused by mutations in theCYP21A2gene, which is located on the RCCX module, a chromosomal region highly prone to genetic recombination events that can result in a wide variety of complex rearrangements, such as gene duplications, gross deletions and gene conversions of variable extensions. Molecular genotyping ofCYP21A2and the RCCX module has proved useful for a more accurate diagnosis of the disease, and prenatal diagnosis. This article summarises the clinical features of 21-hydroxylase deficiency, explains current understanding of the disease at the molecular level, and highlights recent developments, particularly in diagnosis.

21 Hydroxylase Deficiency

Background: Genetic analysis is commonly performed in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Study Objective: The objective of the study was to describe comprehensive CYP21A2 mutation analysis in a large cohort of CAH patients. Methods: Targeted CYP21A2 mutation analysis was performed in 213 patients and 232 parents from 182 unrelated families. Complete exons of CYP21A2 were sequenced in patients in whom positive mutations were not identified by targeted mutation analysis. Copy number variation and deletions were determined using Southern blot analysis and PCR methods. Genotype was correlated with phenotype. Results: In our heterogeneous U.S. cohort, targeted CYP21A2 mutation analysis did not identify mutations on one allele in 19 probands (10.4%). Sequencing identified six novel mutations (p.Gln262fs, IVS8+1G>A, IVS9-1G>A, p.R408H, p.Gly424fs, p.R426P) and nine previously reported rare mutations. The majority of patients (79%) were compound heterozygotes and 69% of nonclassic (NC) patients were compound heterozygous for a classic and a NC mutation. Duplicated CYP21A2 haplotypes, de novo mutations and uniparental disomy were present in 2.7% of probands and 1.9 and 0.9% of patients from informative families, respectively. Genotype accurately predicted phenotype in 90.5, 85.1, and 97.8% of patients with salt-wasting, simple virilizing, and NC mutations, respectively. Conclusions: Extensive genetic analysis beyond targeted CYP21A2 mutational detection is often required to accurately determine genotype in patients with CAH due to the high frequency of complex genetic variation.

Aldosterone Synthase Deficiency

Isolated mineralocorticoid deficiency is a rare hereditary autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by salt wasting and that has the severest manifestations in infants. This paper is the first in the Russian literature to describe cases of isolated aldosterone deficiency. In both cases, the patients were monitored and treated for misdiagnosed congenital adrenal hyperplasia; however, the permanently low level of 17-hydroxyprogesterone could put in doubt the diagnosis and suspect isolated mineralocorticoid deficiency, by keeping in mind a history of salt wasting. By using the presented cases as an example, the authors give an algorithm for the examination and differential diagnosis of this condition and other diseases that have the similar clinical picture. Aldosterone synthase deficiency in patients was verified by molecular genetic studies - there were mutations in the CYP112 gene.

Abstract Background Cohen syndrome (CS) is an uncommon developmental disease with evident clinical heterogeneity. VPS13B is the only gene responsible for CS. Only few sporadic cases of CS have been reported in China. Case presentation A Chinese family with two offspring–patients affected by developmental delay and intellectual disability was investigated in this study. Exome sequencing was performed, and compound heterozygous mutations in VPS13B were segregated for family members with autosomal recessive disorder. Splicing mutation c.3666 + 1G > T (exon 24) and nonsense mutation c. 9844 A > T:p.K3282X (exon 54) were novel. We revisited the family and learned that both patients are affected by microcephaly, developmental delay, neutropenia, and myopia and have a friendly disposition, all of which are consistent with CS phenotypes. We also found that both patients have hyperlinear palms, which their parents do not have. VPS13B mutations reported among the Chinese population were reviewed accordingly. Conclusions This study presents two novel VPS13B mutations in CS. The identification of hyperlinear palms in a family affected by CS expands the phenotype spectrum of CS.

AbstractCongenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency represents a group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by impaired cortisol production due to altered upstream steroid conversions, subclassified as classic and nonclassic forms. The genotype–phenotype correlation is possible in the most frequent case but not in all. Despite in literature many mutations are known, there is the possibility of finding a new genetic pattern in patients with CAH.

Abstract Background 17α-hydroxylase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the cytochrome P450 family 17 subfamily A member 1 gene. The major clinical presentation includes hypertension, hypokalemia, male pseudohermaphroditism and female gonadal dysplasia. Hundreds of pathogenic variants have been reported in this disorder, and some common mutations were found to be race-specific. Case presentation In this study, we reported 5 Chinese girls with 17α-hydroxylase deficiency from Henan Province. The patients all came to the hospital for hypertension, and they also presented with sexual infantilism. The average age of the patients was 14 years old, ranging from 12 to 17 years old. They all had reduced blood cortisol, estradiol (E2), and testosterone (TESTO) and increased adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH). They all had the appearance of females; however, three of the chromosome karyotypes were 46XX, and two were 46XY. Conclusions All of the patients carried a mutation on the 329 amino acid of CYP17A1 exon 6. By summarizing the currently known pathogenic mutations of 17α-hydroxylase deficiency, we demonstrated the prevalence of these gene mutations in Chinese Han and non-Chinese populations.

Autosomal Recessive Pattern

CONONGENITAL ADRENAL hyperplasia (CAH) is an inborn error of metabolism that can produce life-threatening disease in the first one to three weeks of life, unless properly diagnosed and managed. This autosomal recessive disease results in insufficient biosynthesis of cortisol due to an enzyme defect in the adrenal gland. CAH due to 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficiency is found in 1/11,000–1/15,000 people in the general population, with a prevalence as high as 1/750 people in some populations such as the Yupik Eskimos in Alaska and the people of La Réunion in France.1 Males and females are equally affected by this disease due to the autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
