Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia

A severe hereditary autosomal recessive disorder of steroid hormone biosynthesis. It is caused by a defect in the conversion of CHOLESTEROL to PREGNENOLONE, the first step in adrenal and gonadal steroidogenesis. All affected individuals are phenotypic females with a severe salt-losing syndrome that is fatal if not treated in early infancy. Mutations in the STAR gene have been identified. OMIM: 201710
