Abstract

A 15 year-old African American phenotypic female with congenital adrenal hypoplasia and intra-abdominal testes is described; she received cortisone acetate, 9alpha-Florinef, Premarin and Provera for maintenance therapy. Evaluation for DAX1, SF1 mutations using Southern blotting, PCR, PCR amplification, coding sequences, and splice site analyses have not detected any genetic abnormalities. While only 30% of the reported DAX1 mutation defects have been identified by a variety of genetic laboratory techniques, it remains probable that this unusual patient has either a DAX1 or SF1 mutation defect. A Wnt-4 defect was not evaluated.

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.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
