Abstract

17α-Hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase are enzymes encoded by the CYP17A1 gene and are necessary for the production of cortisol and sex steroids. Females with 17α-hydroxylase deficiency usually present with primary amenorrhea and delayed puberty accompanied by hypertension and electrolyte imbalance. Here, we report the case of a 14-year-old female patient who presented with severe short stature and delayed puberty without any complaint suggestive of 17-hydroxylase enzyme deficiency. Laboratory test results showed low cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) along with high luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Turner syndrome was excluded after genetic analysis showed a 46,XX karyotype, and 17α-hydroxylase deficiency was diagnosed by detecting a c.1319G>A (p.Arg440His) variation/alternation in the patient's CYP17A1 gene.

一个不寻常的 17- 羟化酶缺乏症病例，表现为身材矮小。

17α-羟化酶和17,20-赖氨酸酶是由CYP17A1基因编码的酶，是产生皮质醇和性类固醇所必需的酶。缺乏 17α- 羟化酶的女性通常表现为原发性闭经和青春期延迟，并伴有高血压和电解质失衡。在此，我们报告了一例 14 岁女性患者的病例，她出现严重的身材矮小和青春期延迟，但没有任何提示 17- 羟化酶缺乏症的主诉。实验室检查结果显示皮质醇和硫酸脱氢表雄酮（DHEA-S）偏低，黄体生成素（LH）和卵泡刺激素（FSH）偏高。基因分析显示患者的核型为 46,XX，排除了特纳综合征，并通过检测患者 CYP17A1 基因中的 c.1319G>A（p.Arg440His）变异/交替，确诊为 17α- 羟化酶缺乏症。
