Deficiency of 3 beta HSD2 can cause CAH, leading to impaired steroid hormone production in adrenals and gonads with diverse clinical presentations. We report a male infant with salt-wasting CAH caused by 3 beta HSD2 deficiency, with different pathogenic mutations inherited from the parents.
Deficiency of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (3 beta HSD2) is a rare type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), causing impaired steroid hormone production in both adrenals and gonads. Phenotype ranges, according to the genetic defect, from the salt-wasting form in both sexes to undervirilization in males and virilization in females. We present a 13-month-old male infant who was admitted to the hospital with signs of adrenocortical insufficiency and genital ambiguity. Clinical presentation, hormonal profile, laboratory evaluation, and karyotype were suggestive of the salt-wasting form of CAH due to 3 beta HSD2 deficiency. Mutational analysis revealed a missense mutation c.776C > T (p.Thr259Met), inherited by the mother, and a frameshift deletion c.818-819delAA (p.Lys273ArgFs*7), inherited by the father. Both mutations are considered pathogenic. To our knowledge this is the first case of an undervirilized male infant with salt wasting bearing this pathogenic frameshift deletion p.Lys273ArgFs*7 in compound heterozygosity with the missense mutation p.Thr259Met.(c) 2021 S.
