?:definition
  • One of the most severe forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, it is extremely rare. Congenital anomalies are typically seen in the perinatal period. Boys are not virilised and demonstrate a complete girl phenotype. The external genitalia of girls are normal. Hypoglycaemic seizures, vomiting or symptoms of dehydration are common manifestations. This disease is due to a mutation in the STAR gene, which encodes for a protein that regulates steroid hormone synthesis. The disease follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
