Journal of Medical Research 2003;23(3):109-113
Studying on a patient with symptom of congenital adrenal hyperplasia-SW related to mutations caused steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency at National Institute of Pediatrics. In this article, the DNA sequence results of a patient with CAH (salt wasting variation) and his family members had been described. This patient, have been inherited all mutations from his parents including gene mutation 12 (nt656)G, deplete 8bp(exon3) from his father and gene mutation 12 (nt656)G/G homozygote from his mother. All his family members have been CPY 21 gene with different types: his father had mutation of heterozygote on codon 30; his mother had mutation of heterozygote on nucleotide 656.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH) results from an inherited defect in enzymatic steps required to synthesize cortisol from cholesterol. 21-hydroxylase deficiency accounts for 95% cases of CAH. We have analyzed CYP21 genes of CAH by PCR direct sequencing. Our results shows three cases of CAH owing to multiple mutations of CYP21 gene; first case, IVS2AS, A/G, -13, Ile172Asn; second case, IVS2AS, A/G, -13, Ile236Asn, Val237Glu, Met239Lys; third case, Ile172Asn, C to G at 1590nt, Val281Leu, Arg484Pro, G to A at 2697nt. Mutations such as Ile236Asn, Val237Glu, Met239Lys, and Arg484Pro are first noted in Korea.

As a result of the widespread use and enhanced quality of high-resolution radiological techniques, a recent report has revealed a relatively high prevalence of small adrenal tumors in patients with untreated congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. However, there are scarcely any pediatric cases of adrenocortical tumor following long-term treatment in patients suffering with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. We report here on a pediatric female case of adrenocortical adenoma despite adequate long-term treatment for the salt-losing type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Testicular adrenal rest tumors are a well-known complication in male patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Corticosteroid suppressive therapy usually results in the regression of these tumors. We describe a patient with 21-hydroxylase deficiency who developed bilateral testicular masses. Despite steroid suppressive therapy, the tumors did not regress and hormonal control was poor. Consequently, bilateral partial orchiectomies were performed.

Background: Impaired synthesis of adrenal hormones because of steroid 21 - hydroxylase deficiency is one of the common inborn errors of metabolism. The disease is caused by mutations in CYP21 gene and inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.Objectives: This study aims to detect some mutations in CYP21 gene as well as study the relationship between genotype - phenotype and the carriers in patients' family. Subjects and method:43 patients with classic 21 - hydroxylase deficiency and 10 patients' parents were analysed CYP21 gene by using PCR techniques with specific primer pairs. The data was collected and analysed by EpiInfo 6.04 and other common medical statistic method. Results:Among 43 children patients of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, the rate between male and female was equavalent. The most frequent mutation causing steroid 21 - hydroxylase deficiency was deletion 8bp of exon 3. Then, was splicing site mutation of intron 2. The mutation of exon 1 (Pr030Leu) was also detected. About genotype - phenotype relationship, nearly all deletions 8bp (80%) and 12 splicing mutations (87.5%) were associated with salt - wasting phenotype. Conclusion: Parents were the carriers corresponding to the autosomal recessive rule.

OBJECTIVETo assess the frequencies of CYP21A2 gene mutations among patients from Fujian area with classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
METHODSFor 19 probands from different families affected with classical steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency and 74 family members, mutations of the CYP21A2 gene were analyzed with combined nested polymerase chain reaction, Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification. Time resolved fluorescence immunoassay was performed to determine the level of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) in all family members. Clinical data and laboratory results of the probands and their family members were analyzed.
RESULTSEleven mutations were identified among the 38 alleles from the 19 probands. 92.1% (35/38) of the mutant CYP21A2 alleles were due to recombination between CYP21A2 and CYP21A1P. Gene conversion and deletions were identified in 84.2% (32/38) and 7.9% (3/38) of the alleles, respectively. IVS2-13A/C>G and chimeras were the most common mutations, which respectively accounted for 34.2% (13/38) and 18.4% (7/38) of all mutant alleles. Among these, IVS2+1G>A and Q318X+356W were first reported in China. 74.3% (55/74) of the family members were carriers of heterozygous mutations. However, no significant difference was found in the 17-OHP levels between carriers and non-carriers (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONThere seems to be a specific spectrum of CYP21A2 gene mutations in Fujian area, where IVS2-13A/C>G and chimeras are the most common mutations.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genotype-phenotype correlation among 18 patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD).
METHODS:
PCR-Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the 10 exons and flanking regions of the CYP21A2 gene among the 18 patients and 20 healthy controls.
RESULTS:
Seventeen patients had variants of the CYP21A2 gene. Eight patients (44.4%, 8/18) carried homozygous variants including p.Ile 173Asn (62.5%, 5/8), p.Pro31Leu (25.0%, 2/8), and IVS2-13A/C>G (12.5%, 1/8), respectively. Six patients (33.3%, 6/18) carried compound heterozygous variant, among which IVS2-13 A>G+p.Ile 173Asn were most common (50.0%). 94.4% (34/36) of the variant were pathogenic, with the most common variants being p.Ile173Asn (41.7%), IVS2-13A/C>G (19.4%), and p.Ile173Asn (7.5%). No variant was identified among the 20 healthy controls.
CONCLUSION
The majority of 21-OHD patients carried CYP21A2 gene variants in homozygous or compound heterozygous forms, among which the p.Ile173Asn was the most common one. There is a strong correlation between the genotypes and clinical phenotypes.

OBJECTIVE:
Genetic screening and prenatal diagnosis was performed in eighteen families with high risk of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) to provide valuable information for genetic counseling in these affected families.
METHODS:
First, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) combined with nested-PCR based Sanger sequencing was used to detect CYP21A2 gene mutations in probands and their parents of eighteen families, with seven probands had been dead. Second, paternity test was applied to exclude the possibility of maternal genomic DNA contamination, and fetal prenatal diagnosis is based on the mutations found in proband or parents of the family.
RESULTS:
Ten mutations were identified in these eighteen families, including large fragment deletion, I2G, E3del8bp, I172N, V281L, E6 cluster, L307Ffs, Q318X, R356W and R484Pfs. All probands were caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations of CYP21A2 gene and their parents were carriers. By comparing short tandem repeat sites contamination of maternal genomic DNA was not found in fetal DNA. Prenatal diagnosis showed that five fetus were 21-OHD patients, four fetus were carriers and the other nine fetus were normal.
CONCLUSION
CYP21A2 gene mutation is the etiology of 21-OHD. Genetic testing of CYP21A2 could assist physicians in 21-OHD diagnosis and provided genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for parents who are at risk for having a child with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
