Novel Homozygous Mutation in a Boy with Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1

Saffari Fatemeh , Homaei Ali

Pseudohypodosteronism type 1 (PHA-1) is an inherited disease caused by the resistance of peripheral tissues to aldosterone, leading to severe salt loss in infants. This rare disease is caused by mutations in the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel subunits (ENaCs). Loss-of-function mutations in ENaCs lead to PHA-1, which is associated with neonatal salt wasting. PHA1 can be transmitted as autosomal dominant and recessive forms. Patients with the autosomal dominant fo...

Neonatal Screening for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia in Saudi Arabia: A Retrospective, Descriptive study

Alshehri Eman , Alharbi Fahad

Background and Aims: A congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders in which enzymes in the cortisol biosynthesis pathways are interrupted by gene mutations. More than 90% of CAH, is caused by 21-hydroxylase (21OHD) deficiency. The 17α-hydroxylase (17OHD) deficiency one of the less common forms of CAH, can result in significant morbidity and mortality if left untreated, thus making early diagnosis essential. In Saudi A...

A single centre experience of aromatase inhibitors to limit bone age advancement in pre-pubertal boys with adrenal disorders causing androgen excess

Shaunak Meera , Zichichi Giulia , Peters Catherine , Brain Caroline , Dattani Mehul

Introduction: Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, prevents the conversion of androgen to oestrogen, which is required for the adolescent growth spurt and the attainment of peak bone mass. Anastrozole may help minimise bone age (BA) advancement in conditions associated with adrenal androgen excess, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and premature adrenarche.Objectives: 1. To describe baseline characteristics an...

A short intragenic inversion in CYP11B1 gene involved in a 46,XX virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia: interest of cross-use of targeted massively parallel and Sanger sequencing.

Janot Clément , Ladjouze Asmahane , Choron Kévin , Teoli Jordan , Plotton Ingrid , Mallet Delphine , Roucher-Boulez Florence

Background: Steroid 11-β hydroxylase deficiency is the second most frequent cause of adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) with autosomal recessive inheritance. Girls have importantly virilized external genitalia at birth, and boys display precocious pseudopuberty. Unlike others enzymatic deficiency involved in CAH, there is no salt wasting during infancy but patients develop hypertension. Because of more than 90% of homologous sequence between CYP11B1 gene ...

The assessment of the usefulness of morning cortisol and DHEAS concentration levels in the diagnosis of central adrenal insufficiency in pediatric patients - preliminary results

Szczudlik Ewa , Wójcik Małgorzata , Stępniewska Anna , Januś Dominika , B. Starzyk Jerzy

The diagnosis of central adrenal insufficiency (CAI) is challenging. The most popular diagnostic tool in pediatric population remains low-dose (1 μg) cosyntropin (LDC) test. Nevertheless, there is still a need for the CAI markers that might be used on an outpatient setting as a first-line screening. In adult patients morning cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) has been postulated as a possible markers. The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of ...
