Pathophysiology
17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency-3 is biochemically characterized by decreased levels of testosterone and increased levels of androstenedione as a result of the defect in conversion of androstenedione into testosterone. This leads to clinically important higher ratio of androstenedione to testosterone (A'dion/T) (see figure).
Genetics
17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency-3 is caused by gene mutations found in the 17BHSD3 gene. 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency-3 is an autosomal recessive disorder.
