Descriptor English: Adrenal Hyperplasia, Congenital
Descriptor Spanish: Hiperplasia Suprarrenal Congénita
Descriptor hiperplasia suprarrenal congénita
Scope note: Grupo de trastornos hereditarios de las GLÁNDULAS SUPRARRENALES, causados por defectos enzimáticos en la síntesis del cortisol (HIDROCORTISONA) y/o ALDOSTERONA, que provocan una acumulación de precursores de los ANDRÓGENOS. Dependiendo del desequilibrio hormonal, las hiperplásias suprarrenales congénitas se clasifican en: hiponatrémica o pierde sal, hipertensiva, virilizante, o feminizante. El defecto más común es el de la ESTEROIDE 21-HIDROXILASA. También se dan defectos en la ESTEROIDE 11-BETA-HIDROXILASA, la ESTEROIDE 17-ALFA-HIDROXILASA, o la 3-beta-hidroxiesteroide deshidrogenasa (3-HIDROXIESTEROIDE DESHIDROGENASAS)

Scope note: A group of inherited disorders of the ADRENAL GLANDS, caused by enzyme defects in the synthesis of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) and/or ALDOSTERONE leading to accumulation of precursors for ANDROGENS. Depending on the hormone imbalance, congenital adrenal hyperplasia can be classified as salt-wasting, hypertensive, virilizing, or feminizing. Defects in STEROID 21-HYDROXYLASE; STEROID 11-BETA-HYDROXYLASE; STEROID 17-ALPHA-HYDROXYLASE; 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASES); TESTOSTERONE 5-ALPHA-REDUCTASE; or steroidogenic acute regulatory protein; among others, underlie these disorders.
