Core Tip |
17-α-hydroxylase deficiency (17OHD) is a rare type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The clinical manifestations of 17OHD are hyporeninic hypertension, hypokalemia, male pseudohermaphroditism, female sexual infantilism, and primary amenorrhea. The disease is caused by mutations in the gene encoding cytochrome P450c17 that lead to 17-α-hydroxylase/17,20 carbon chain lyase deficiency. The present study presents the data of three patients who were diagnosed with 17OHD, caused by p.Tyr329fs homozygous mutation, through genetic testing. These three cases suggest that the homozygous p.Tyr329fs mutation usually manifests as a combined deficiency and that the definite diagnosis mainly depends on genetic testing. |
