“ACQUIRED” ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA WITH 21-HYDROXYLASE DEFICIENCY IS NOT THE SAME GENETIC DISORDER AS CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA

Abstract

Hormonal studies and HLA genotyping were performed on the family of a patient with “acquired” adrenal hyperplasia (AAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The results of these studies suggest that “AAH”, is not the same genetic disease as CAH.
