CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA IN NORTH•EAST OF IRAN: A REVIEW OF 47 PATIENTS AND THE ROLE OF PARENTAL CONSANGUINITY IN THE OCCURRENCE OF DISEASE
In this study the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of congenital adrenal hyperplasia were evaluated prospectively in 47 patients admitted in Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad during a 4 year period. 21-hydroxylase deficiency was present in 42 patients (89.3%), the simple virilizing form in 6 and the salt-losing form in 36 of them. 11b hydroxylase deficiency was present in 5 patient...
متن کاملA Case of Bilateral Testicular Tumors Subsequently Diagnosed as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency
21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) caused congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive genetic disorders resulting from mutations in genes involved with cortisol (CO) synthesis in the adrenal glands. Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) are rarely the presenting symptoms of CAH. Here, we describe a case of simple virilizing CAH with TARTs, in a 15-year-old boy. The p...
متن کاملبررسی 10 ساله تظاهرات بالینی و شیوع انواع هیپرپلازی مادرزادی آدرنال در انستیتو غدد درونریز و متابولیسم
Background & Objective: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia(CAH) includes a group of inherited diseases which are caused by enzyme defects in the synthesis of cortisol from cholesterol. It manifests itself in different forms like ambiguous genitalia, adrenal crisis in infants, precocious puberty in children, hirsutism, oligomenorrhea and infertility in adults. Although CAH is one of the most com...
متن کاملGenotype-Phenotype Correlation in 153 Adult Patients With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency: Analysis of the United Kingdom Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Adult Study Executive (CaHASE) Cohort
CONTEXT In congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, a strong genotype-phenotype correlation exists in childhood. However, similar data in adults are lacking. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to test whether the severity of disease-causing CYP21A2 mutations influences the treatment and health status in adults with CAH. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We anal...
متن کاملHigh carrier frequency of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in Cyprus.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is a common autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CYP21A2 gene. The carrier frequency of CYP21A2 mutations has been estimated to be 1:25 to 1:10 on the basis of newborn screening. The main objective of this study was to determine the carrier frequency in the Cypriot population of mutations in the CY...
