17α-Hydroxylase/17,20-Lyase Deficiency in 46,XY: Our Experience and Review of Literature

Abstract

We report the first monocentric case series of Asian Indian 46,XY patients with 17OHD. We propose that a phenotype of severe undervirilization with milder cortisol deficiency may represent a distinct subtype of combined severe 17OHD with residual 17α-hydroxylase activity but severe 17,20-lyase deficiency (>1%/<1%), which needs further validation.
