Definition
English
:
A group of inherited disorders of the
ADRENAL GLANDS
, caused by enzyme defects in the synthesis of
cortisol
(
HYDROCORTISONE
) and/or
ALDOSTERONE
leading to accumulation of precursors for
ANDROGENS
. Depending on the hormone imbalance, congenital adrenal
hyperplasia
can be classified as salt-wasting, hypertensive, virilizing, or feminizing. Defects in
STEROID 21-HYDROXYLASE
;
STEROID 11-BETA-HYDROXYLASE
;
STEROID 17-ALPHA-HYDROXYLASE
;
3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
(
3-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASES
);
TESTOSTERONE
5-ALPHA-REDUCTASE; or steroidogenic acute regulatory protein; among others, underlie these disorders.
