Background: CYP11A1 encodes the P450 side chain cleavage enzyme which initiates the steroidogenic cascade by conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. Severe (or classical) deficiency of this enzyme is characterised by disordered sexual differentiation in addition to adrenal and gonadal insufficiency. However partial loss-of-function mutations of CYP11A1 can present as isolated glucocorticoid deficiency (IGD). We describe 16 patients with both novel and know...

Background: CYP11A1 encodes the P450 side chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc) responsible for initiating steroidogenesis and classically gives rise to disordered sex development plus adrenal and gonadal insufficiency. The rs6161 variant in exon 5 of CYP11A1 (c.940G>A; p.E314K) has previously been considered as ‘benign’. When next generation sequencing was performed in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency of unknown etiology the rs6161 variant was foun...
