Men with classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency are at risk for infertility. 1 The mechanisms are complex and involve three factors: gonadotropin inhibition due to the excessive secretion of progestin ...

Purpose: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. There have been more than 400 mutations identified in the PAH ...

Yes, I do think we need non-glucocorticoid forms of therapy to treat 21-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia.The most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a ...

A 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most common form of CAH and affects around 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 15,000 people annually in the United States and Europe. In this article, we examine the types of ...

This enzyme deficiency happens because of a genetic change you inherit. Without enough 21-hydroxylase, the compounds that make cortisol and the hormone aldosterone , build up in your adrenal glands.

In 21-hydroxylase deficiency, it is 17α-hydroxyprogesterone that is in excess and is excreted as pregnanetriol; in 11β-hydroxylase deficiency, the major secreted precursor is 11 deoxycortisol ...

Around 95% of cases are caused by a mutation that leads to a deficiency of the enzyme 21-hydroxylase, and there are currently no FDA-approved non-glucocorticoid treatments available.
