Note
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia that results from a deficiency in one or another of the enzymes of CORTISOL biosynthesis. In most cases, 21-hydroxylation is impaired in the ZONA FASCICULATA of the ADRENAL CORTEX so that 17-HYDROXYPROGESTERONE (17-OHP) is not converted to 11-DEOXYCORTISOL. This causes excessive production of ANDROGENS and VIRILIZATION. Caused by germline mutations in the CYP21A2 gene. OMIM: 201910
