Background: Patients with NNT (Nicotinamide Nucleotide Transhydrogenase) gene mutations, a rare cause of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid deficiency. Adrenal Rest Tumor (ART) in females, reported so far only in noncompliant patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and elevated ACTH levels, is very rare (<20 cases world-wide). This study characterizes the pathophysiology, the molecular ontogeny and methylation analysis of a unique ART in a female wit...

Background: Ovarian Dysgenesis (OD) is a rare genetically heterogeneous XX Disorder of Sex Development. It presents clinically with primary amenorrhea, hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism and infertility. The genetic basis of OD remains unknown in 70% of cases. To identify novel genetic causes of OD, we are investigating families with one or more patients diagnosed with OD.Methods: Using a patient-based approach, WES was per...
