[Analysis of a family with 11β-hydroxylase deficiency due to a mutation in the CYP11B1 gene].

This study reports a family of patients with 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (11β-OHD) caused by a novel mutation in the CYP11B1 gene, and analyzes its clinical and genetic characteristics. The clinical data of a patient with intractable hypertension at Air Force Medical Center on May 16, 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The patient was clinically diagnosed with congenital adrenal cortical hyperplasia. The clinical data of the patient were further collected and the peripheral blood samples of the patient, his parents and his sister were collected for CYP11B1(NM_000497) gene sequencing, suggesting that the patient had compound heterozygous mutations in exon 1:c.199delG, p.Glu67Lysfs*9 and exon 5:c.905_907 delATGinsTT, p.Asp302Valfs*23, both of which were pathogenic variants. The patient's father and sister carried heterozygous mutations in exon 1:c.199delG, p.Glu67Lysfs*9, and the mother carried heterozygous mutations in exon 5:c.905_907delATGinsTT, p.Asp302Valfs*23. This study is the first to report a new compound heterozygous mutation in exon 1:c.199delG and exon 5 c.905_907 delATGinsTT of CYP11B1 gene, enriching the database of 11β-OHD mutations and providing information to further understand the genetic mechanism of the disease.
