ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA, CONGENITAL, DUE TO 21-HYDROXYLASE DEFICIENCY
Alternate names
ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA, CONGENITAL, DUE TO 21-HYDROXYLASE DEFICIENCY Is also known as cyp21 deficiency, 21-hydroxylase deficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia 1, cah1, adrenal hyperplasia iii
Description
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) results from a deficiency in one or another of the enzymes of cortisol biosynthesis. In about 95% of 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. Because of defective cortisol synthesis, ACTH levels increase, resulting in overproduction and accumulation of cortisol precursors, particularly 17-OHP, proximal to the block. This causes excessive production of androgens, resulting in virilization.Slominski et al. (1996) presented evidence that the CYP21A2, CYP11A1 (OMIM ), CYP17 (OMIM ), and ACTHR (OMIM ) genes are expressed in skin (see {202200}). The authors suggested that expression of these genes may play a role in skin physiology and pathology and that cutaneous proopiomelanocortin activity may be autoregulated by a feedback mechanism involving glucocorticoids synthesized locally.
Most common symptoms of ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA, CONGENITAL, DUE TO 21-HYDROXYLASE DEFICIENCY
- Short stature
- Neoplasm
- Hypertension
- Fever
- Obesity

CLASSIC CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA DUE TO 21-HYDROXYLASE DEFICIENCY, SALT WASTING FORM
Alternate names
CLASSIC CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA DUE TO 21-HYDROXYLASE DEFICIENCY, SALT WASTING FORM Is also known as classic 21-ohd cah, salt wasting form
Description
The salt wasting form of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (classical 21 OHD CAH; see this term) is characterized by virilization of the external genitalia in females, hypocortisolism, precocious pseudopuberty and renal salt loss due to aldosterone deficiency.

CLASSIC CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA DUE TO 21-HYDROXYLASE DEFICIENCY, SIMPLE VIRILIZING FORM
Alternate names
CLASSIC CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA DUE TO 21-HYDROXYLASE DEFICIENCY, SIMPLE VIRILIZING FORM Is also known as classic 21-ohd cah, simple virilizing form
Description
The simple virilizing form of classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (classical 21 OHD CAH; see this term) is characterized by genital ambiguity and virilization of the external genitalia in females, hypocortisolism and precocious pseudopuberty without salt-wasting.
