Additional Information:

Clinical Description OMIM Deficiency of adrenal 17-hydroxylation activity was first demonstrated in a single patient by Biglieri et al. (1966), who suggested a similar defect in the gonad. Production of excessive corticosterone and deoxycorticosterone resulted in hypertension and hypokalemic alkalosis. Aldosterone ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In a patient with combined 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency, Kagimoto et al. (1988) identified a 4-base duplication in the CYP17A1 gene (609300.0001), resulting in the loss of both enzymatic activities.

In 2 patients with isolated 17,20-lyase deficiency from ...
