  • fertility in patients with genetic deficiencies of cytochrome p450c17 cyp17a1 combined 17 hydroxylase 17 20 lyase deficiency and isolated 17 20 lyase deficiency
    Fertility and Sterility, 2014
    Co-Authors: Courtney Marsh, Richard J. Auchus
    Abstract:

    CYP17A1 catalyzes the 17-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase reactions, regulating the steroid hormones produced by the adrenal glands and gonads. Mutations that compromise all CYP17A1 activities are extremely rare and cause combined 17-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency. Clinically, combined 17-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency presents with hypertension, hypokalemia, primary amenorrhea, and sexual Infantilism. A few mutations selectively impair 17,20-lyase activity, and some mutations in cofactor proteins cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase and cytochrome b5 also selectively disrupt 17,20-lyase activity. The defect in sex steroid synthesis impairs fertility in both male and female patients when the deficiency is severe. This paper reviews the genetics, steroidogenesis, and fertility impairments associated with these disorders.

  • genetic deficiencies of cytochrome p450c17 cyp17a1 combined 17 hydroxylase 17 20 lyase deficiency and isolated 17 20 lyase deficiency

    Co-Authors: Richard J. Auchus
    Abstract:

    Abstract Steroid 17-hydroxylase 17,20-lyase (cytochrome P450c17, CYP17A1) occupies a critical position in the pathways of human steroidogenesis, regulating the classes of steroid hormones produced by cells of the adrenal glands and gonads. CYP17A1 catalyzes two major reactions: the 17-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase reactions. Mutations that compromise all CYP17A1 activities cause combined 17-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency, which presents as hypertension, hypokalemia, and sexual Infantilism. A few mutations selectively impair 17,20-lyase activity, and some mutations in cofactor proteins cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase and cytochrome b5 also selectively disrupt 17,20-lyase activity. This chapter reviews the genetics, clinical presentation, management, and history of these disorders.

  • untreated congenital adrenal hyperplasia with 17 α hydroxylase 17 20 lyase deficiency presenting as massive adrenocortical tumor
    Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2015
    Co-Authors: Su Jin Lee, Je Eun Song, Sena Hwang, Ji Yeon Lee, Hye Sun Park, Seunghee Han, Yumie Rhee
    Abstract:

    Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) with 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency is usually characterized by hypertension and primary amenorrhea, sexual Infantilism in women, and pseudohermaphroditism in men. hypertension, and sexual Infantilism in women and pseudohermaphroditism in men. In rare cases, a huge adrenal gland tumor can present as a clinical manifestation in untreated CAH. Adrenal cortical adenoma is an even more rare phenotype in CAH with 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency. A 36-year-old female presented with hypertension and abdominal pain caused by a huge adrenal mass. Due to mass size and symptoms, left adrenalectomy was performed. After adrenalectomy, blood pressure remained high. Based on hormonal and genetic evaluation, the patient was diagnosed as CAH with 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency. The possibility of a tumorous change in the adrenal gland due to untreated CAH should be considered. It is important that untreated CAH not be misdiagnosed as primary adrenal tumor as these conditions require different treatments. Adequate suppression of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in CAH is also important to treat and to prevent the tumorous changes in the adrenal gland. Herein, we report a case of untreated CAH with 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency presenting with large adrenal cortical adenoma and discuss the progression of adrenal gland hyperplasia due to inappropriate suppression of ACTH secretion.

  • Deficiência combinada de 17 alfa-hidroxilase/17,20 liase devido a duplicação de 25 PB (NT 4157-4181) no éxon 5 do CYP17 resultando em parada prematura de leitura predita por modelagem molecular

    Abstract:

    Combined 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia characterized by the coexistence of hypertension, caused by the hyperproduction of mineralocorticoid precursors and DSD in males and sexual Infantilism in females, due to impaired production of sex hormones. Several CYP17 mutations resulting in 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency have been reported previously. In the present study, we described a novel CYP17 mutation in two Brazilian sisters with primary amenorrhea, 46,XY karyotype, high basal levels of progesterone (3.4-4.9 ng/mL) and hypokalemic hypertension born to consanguineous parents. After PCR and automatic sequencing of CYP17 coding region, 25 bp duplication at exon 5 was found in the patients. This duplication started at codon 318 resulting in a premature stop codon at position 320 resulting in an ineffective and truncated protein and in accordance with the molecular modeling of P450c17. Therefore we expanded the repertoire of CYP17 mutations describing the largest duplication found in this gene in both sisters, with a clinical phenotype of combined 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency and emphasizes the importance of the P450c 17 molecular modeling to predict the functional effect of these mutations.A deficiência combinada de 17 alfa-hidroxilase/17,20 liase é uma doença rara, de herança autossômica recessiva, causa de hiperplasia adrenal congênita caracterizada pela presença de hipertensão resultante do acúmulo de precursores mineralocorticóides, distúrbio da diferenciação sexual em homens e Infantilismo sexual em mulheres devido à falha na produção de esteróides sexuais. Várias mutações no gene CYP17 resultando em deficiência de 17 alfa-hidroxilase/17,20-liase têm sido descritas. No presente estudo, descrevemos uma nova mutação no CYP17 em duas irmãs, nascidas de pais consangüíneos, com quadro de amenorréia primária, cariótipo 46,XY, dosagens basais elevadas de progesterona (3,4-4,9 ng/mL) e hipertensão hipocalêmica. Após PCR e seqüenciamento automático da região codificadora do CYP17, uma duplicação de 25 pb no exon 5 foi identificada nas pacientes. Esta duplicação inicia-se no códon 318 resultando em parada prematura de leitura no códon 320 gerando uma proteína truncada e inativa conforme predito pela modelagem molecular do P450c17. Com este achado, ampliamos o repertório de mutações do CYP17 descrevendo a maior duplicação descrita até então neste gene em duas irmãs com fenótipo de deficiência combinada de 17 alfa-hidroxilase/17,20-liase e enfatizamos a importância da modelagem molecular do P450c 17 em predizer o efeito funcional destas mutações.ProDoc CAPESCNP
