Steroidogenesis

An inborn error of steroid metabolism is an inborn error of metabolism due to defects in steroid metabolism.[citation needed]

Types

A variety of conditions of abnormal steroidogenesis exist due to genetic mutations in the steroidogenic enzymes involved in the process, of which include:

Generalized

Androgen- and estrogen-specific

Glucocorticoid- and mineralocorticoid-specific

  • 21-Hydroxylase deficiency: prevents glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid synthesis; causes androgen excess in females
  • 11β-Hydroxylase 1 deficiency: impairs glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid metabolism; causes glucocorticoid deficiency and mineralocorticoid excess as well as androgen excess in females
  • 11β-Hydroxylase 2 deficiency: impairs corticosteroid metabolism; results in excessive mineralocorticoid activity
  • 18-Hydroxylase deficiency: prevents mineralocorticoid synthesis; results in mineralocorticoid deficiency
  • 18-Hydroxylase overactivity: impairs mineralocorticoid metabolism; results in mineralocorticoid excess

Miscellaneous

In addition, several conditions of abnormal steroidogenesis due to genetic mutations in receptors, as opposed to enzymes, also exist, including:[citation needed]

No activating mutations of the GnRH receptor in humans have been described in the medical literature,[3] and only one of the FSH receptor has been described, which presented as asymptomatic.[4][5]
