Routine genetic testing is crucial for early diagnosis and better management of Turner’s syndrome with 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
research A recently characterized, underdiagnosed cause of female androgenetic alopecia and polycystic ovarian syndrome: non-classical 21 hydroxylase deficiency
Non-classical 21 hydroxylase deficiency is an underdiagnosed cause of female hair loss and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
research FRI-02 FROM GIRLS TO BOYS TO OLDER MEN, THE INTERESTING TALE OF THE GUEVEDOCES AND 5-ALPHA REDUCTASE INHIBITORS
The discovery of 5α-reductase deficiency in guevedoces led to the development of important urologic medications.

Blocking CYP17A1 enzyme may help improve certain brain function issues related to dopamine.
research Is idiopathic hirsutism idiopathic?
Idiopathic hirsutism may be linked to increased enzyme activity.
research A unique insertion/duplication in the VDR gene that truncates the VDR causing hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets without alopecia
A unique gene mutation causes vitamin D-resistant rickets without causing hair loss.
research Is 3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide a diagnostic marker in women with androgenic manifestations?
3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.
research Urinary steroid metabolome shows adrenal, gonadal, and neuroactive steroid dysregulation in adolescents with depression
Depressed teens have different steroid levels in urine, which may help identify and treat them.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Structure of human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene.
The human type II 5α-reductase gene, linked to certain male health conditions, has a specific structure and low similarity to other related genes.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia among Women Presenting with Hyperandrogenic Symptoms and Signs
About 2.2% of women with symptoms of high male hormones have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and measuring a specific hormone level can accurately diagnose it.
research Regulation of the metabolic phenotype of human hepatocytes by glucocorticoids and androgens
Glucocorticoids reduce fat production in liver cells, while androgens increase it in females; manipulating certain enzymes can influence these effects.
research Vitamin D‐dependent rickets type I and type II
VDDR I and II are genetic disorders affecting vitamin D use, causing rickets, with VDDR I treatable by vitamin D supplements and VDDR II needing high doses and calcium.
research Endocrinology and auxology of sibships with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Siblings with signs of virilization should be tested for non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which does not affect adult height but may impact fertility and well-being if untreated.
research METABOLISM OF DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE BY ISOLATED HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLES
Human hair follicles can process steroid hormones like DHEA.
research LC-MS/MS improves screening towards 21-hydroxylase deficiency
LC-MS/MS is more reliable than immunoassays for diagnosing 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
research Antihormonal properties of some new A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids of the androstane series
New A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids showed strong antiandrogenic activity without affecting the enzyme 5α-reductase or androgen receptor binding.
research Helpful diagnostic markers of steroidogenesis for defining hyperandrogenemia in hirsute women
The study concluded that androstendione and DHEA are important for diagnosing high male hormone levels in women with excessive hair growth.
research Structural basis for the catalysis and inhibition of human steroid 5α‐reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
research 11-Oxyandrogens in Adolescents With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Girls with PCOS have higher levels of certain androgens, which are linked to excess hair growth, but these androgens don't help diagnose PCOS.
