FAMILIAL GLUCOCORTICOID DEFICIENCY

Alternate names

FAMILIAL GLUCOCORTICOID DEFICIENCY Is also known as fgd1, familial glucocorticoid deficiency 1, acth resistance, adrenal unresponsiveness to acth

Description

Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a group of primary adrenal insufficiencies characterized clinically by neonatal hyperpigmentation, hypoglycemia, failure to thrive, and recurrent infections, and biochemically by glucocorticoid deficiency without mineralocorticoid deficiency.

Most common symptoms of FAMILIAL GLUCOCORTICOID DEFICIENCY

  • Seizures
  • Failure to thrive
  • Feeding difficulties
  • Recurrent infections
  • Hypoglycemia
