Congenital adrenal hyperplasia owing to 21-hydroxylase deficiency

Abstract

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) owing to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most common cause of genital ambiguity in the newborn and is present in about 1 in 15,000 live births worldwide. The disease is further characterized in its classic salt-wasting form (approximately 75% of cases) by potentially lethal adrenal insufficiency. A non-salt-wasting form of classic CAH with 21-hydroxylase deficiency is also recognized by genital ambiguity in affected females and by signs of androgen excess in later childhood in males. Nonclassic CAH with 21-hydroxylase deficiency may be detected in 1% to 3% of populations and is often mistaken for idiopathic precocious pubarche in children or polycystic ovary syndrome in young women. This article presents an overview of clinical and genetic aspects of the various forms of CAH with 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

Addison Disease

Addison's disease, also known as primary adrenal insufficiency and hypocortisolism, is a long-term endocrine disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough steroid hormones. Discover the latest research on Addison's disease here.

Cachexia & Brown Fat

Cachexia is a condition associated with progressive weight loss due to severe illness. In cancer patients, it is proposed to occur as a result of tumor-induced energy wasting. Several proteins have been implicated in browning and depletion of white adipose tissue. Here is the latest research on cachexia and brown fat.

Cardiac Cachexia

Cardiac cachexia is a syndrome associated with the progressive loss of muscle and fat mass. It most commonly affects patients with heart failure and can significantly decrease the quality of life and survival in these patients. Here is the latest research on cardiac cachexia.
