Aldosterone synthase deficiency (ASD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by inactivating mutation in the CYP11B2 gene, usually presenting with severe salt-wasting in infancy or stress-induced hyperkalaemia and postural hypotension in adulthood. ASD is unable to be detected by Neonatal screening of 17-hydroxyprogesterone, hence patients would not be diagnosed until they suffer from salt-wasting crisis. Due to this potentially life-threatening risk, early detection and...
