Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency represents a group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by impaired cortisol production due to altered upstream steroid conversions, subclassified as classic and nonclassic forms. The genotype-phenotype correlation is possible in the most frequent case but not in all. Despite in literature many mutations are known, there is the possibility of finding a new genetic pattern in patients with CAH.
由于类固醇21-羟化酶缺乏所致的先天性肾上腺皮质增生(CAH)是一组常染色体隐性疾病,其特征是上游类固醇转化改变导致皮质醇生成受损,分为经典型和非经典型。在最常见的病例中,基因型与表型之间存在相关性,但并非所有病例都是如此。尽管文献中已知许多突变,但仍有可能在CAH患者中发现新的遗传模式。
