Objective: To investigate the etiology and clinical features of Chinese children with PAI.Method: 427 children (age 018 years) with PAI followed at our institution between September 1989 and March 2016 were studied.Results: 1. 228 males and 199 female (1.14:1) were included. Median age at diagnosis was 1.66 (10th90th, 0.06~8.73 yrs.2. An identified diagnosis(clinical or genetic) was obtained in 93...

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...
