GlossaryCYP21A2 gene

encodes an enzyme essential for hormone production in adrenal glands

The CYP21A2 gene, also known as the 21-hydroxylase gene, provides instructions for making an enzyme called 21-hydroxylase. This enzyme is crucial for the production of certain hormones in the adrenal glands, including cortisol and aldosterone. Mutations in the CYP21A2 gene can lead to congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a group of genetic disorders affecting hormone production and leading to symptoms such as abnormal growth and development.
