11β-Hydroxylase | 11β-Hydroxylase deficiency is a type of [[congenital adrenal hyperplasia]] resulting from a defect in [[CYP11B1]] on [[chromosome 8]]. [[CYP11B1]] [[gene]] encodes an enzyme called [[11β-hydroxylase]] in the path of [[steroid biosynthesis]]. This enzyme is located in the zona fasciculate, and converts [[Deoxycortisol|11-deoxycortisol]] to [[cortisol]] and [[11-deoxycorticosterone]]. Lack of [[11β-hydroxylase]] enzyme in different amounts results in accumulation of [[Deoxycortisol|11-deoxycortisol]], and decrease amounts of [[cortisol]] and [[11-deoxycorticosterone]]. There is an elevation of [[adrenocorticotropic hormone]] results in overproduction of [[11-deoxycorticosterone]] (DOC) by mid-childhood. [[11-deoxycorticosterone]] is a weak [[mineralocorticoid]], but because of high amounts in this disease can cause [[mineralocorticoid excess]] effects such as salt retention, volume expansion, and [[hypertension]]. Non-classic forms mostly doesn't have verifiable [[mutations]] and mild 11β-hydroxylase deficiency is currently considered a very rare cause of [[hirsutism]] and [[infertility]]. | ||

Overview
11β-Hydroxylase deficiency is a type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia resulting from a defect in CYP11B1 on chromosome 8. CYP11B1 gene encodes an enzyme called 11β-hydroxylase in the path of steroid biosynthesis. This enzyme is located in the zona fasciculate, and converts 11-deoxycortisol to cortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone. Lack of 11β-hydroxylase enzyme in different amounts results in accumulation of 11-deoxycortisol, and decrease amounts of cortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone. There is an elevation of adrenocorticotropic hormone results in overproduction of 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) by mid-childhood. 11-deoxycorticosterone is a weak mineralocorticoid, but because of high amounts in this disease can cause mineralocorticoid excess effects such as salt retention, volume expansion, and hypertension. Non-classic forms mostly doesn't have verifiable mutations and mild 11β-hydroxylase deficiency is currently considered a very rare cause of hirsutism and infertility.
Pathogenesis
- 11β-hydroxylase deficiency is a type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia resulting from a defect in CYP11B1 on chromosome 8.
- CYP11B1 gene encodes an enzyme called 11β-hydroxylase in the path of steroid biosynthesis. This enzyme is located in the zona fasciculata, and converts 11-deoxycortisol to cortisol and 11-deoxycorticosterone.
- Cortisol production reduction has a negative feedback on the pituitary and increases corticotropin (ACTH) secretion. This leads to of 11-deoxycortisol precursors and then adrenocortical hyperplasia.
- With intact amount of other pathways, as a result of high ACTH concentrations, some amount of the 11-deoxycortisol precursors are metabolized to adrenal androgens and can cause virilization in a genetically female fetus or a child of either sex.
- Severity of disease depends on the amount of functional 11β-hydroxylase enzyme that an individual produces.
- Aldosterone production is decreased in this disease but there is an elevation of adrenocorticotropic hormone results in overproduction of 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC) by mid-childhood. 11-deoxycorticosterone is a weak mineralocorticoid, but because of high amounts in this disease can cause mineralocorticoid excess effects such as salt retention, volume expansion, and hypertension.
- Non-classic forms mostly doesn't have verifiable mutations and mild 11β-hydroxylase deficiency is currently considered a very rare cause of hirsutism and infertility.
Genetics
- 11β-hydroxylase deficiency is an inherited disease with an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell have gene mutations.
- Commonly, the parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.
- Most CYP11B1 mutations correspond to minimal or absent enzyme activity, resulting in the classic 11β-hydroxylase deficiency phenotype.
- A non-classic form of enzyme deficiency caused by CYP11B1 mutations exists but is very rare.[2][3][4]
Associated Conditions
Gross Pathology
Gross pathology findings in patients with 11β-hydroxylase deficiency are:[5][6]
- Enlarged adrenal glands
- Wrinkled surface adrenal glands
- Cerebriform pattern adrenal glands (pathognomonic sign)
- Normal ultrasound appearances may also be seen
- Testicular masses may be identified representing adrenal rest tissue
Microscopic Pathology
In 11β-hydroxylase deficiency microscopic findings may include:
- Diffuse cortical hyperplasia with smaller cells
- The cell cytoplasm can be vacuolated, and often more basophilic
- Rare mitotic figures may be present
- The hyperplastic cells typically lack features of cellular atypia.[7]
