Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

TL;DR: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a group of autosomal recessive disorders resulting from the deficiency of one of the enzymes required for cortisol synthesis in the adrenal cortex as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency

TL;DR: Prenatal diagnosis by direct mutation detection permits prenatal treatment of affected females with severe, classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency to minimize genital virilization, reducing mortality from this condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human hypertension caused by mutations in the kidney isozyme of 11β–hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

TL;DR: The gene encoding the kidney isozyme of 11βHSD is analysed and mutations on both alleles in nine of 11 AME patients (eight of nine kindreds) markedly affect enzymatic activity and permit cortisol to occupy the renal mineralocorticoid receptor and thereby cause sodium retention and hypertension.
