Chan Li , Novoselova Tatiana , Campbell Dan , Hughes Claire , Clark Adrian , Metherell Lou

Introduction: In recent years a growing number of gene mutations have been identified which cause a myriad of syndromes having adrenal insufficiency as a core characteristic. The evolution of each syndrome is dependent on the variant and the particular gene affected. Common practice is for candidate genes to be sequenced individually, which can be time consuming and is complicated by overlapping clinical phenotypes. The increasing availability and cost effectiveness of whole e...
