Adrenal Gland Hyperplasia II

MedGen UID:
925006
•Concept ID:
C4284917
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: 3-Beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Deficiency; Adrenal Gland Hyperplasia, Congenital, due to 3-Beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 2 Deficiency

Definition

Decreased activity of the enzyme 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, associated with mutation(s) in the HSD3B2 gene. The lack of activity of this enzyme produces a type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. [from NCI]
