W116C | a naturally occuring mutation leading to enzyme deficiency, which causes decreased cortisol secretion, elevated plasma levels of ACTH, and accumulation of steroid precursors. These are shunted into the androgen synthesis pathway, leading to hyperandrogenism. Accumulation of 11-deoxycorticosterone and its metabolites causes hypertension in about two thirds of patients. Phenotypical expression of classic 11OHD leads to virilization of external genitalia in newborn females and precocious pseudopuberty combined with rapid somatic growth and bone age acceleration, due to reactive androgen overproduction in both sexes,overview | Homo sapiens |
