==Overview==
Cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase (POR) deficiency is a type of [[congenital adrenal hyperplasia]] that caused by mutations in the [[flavoprotein]] co-factor of the enzymes [[CYP17A1]], [[CYP21A2]], and [[CYP19A1]] ([[aromatase]]). Severe [[Undervirilization]] in boys and severe [[virilization]] in girls and [[Antley-Bixler syndrome]] of [[craniofacial malformations]] are clinical finding of this disease. The mainstay of therapy for cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase deficiency is [[hydrocortisone]] to replace [[glucocorticoid]] deficiency.

The cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) enzyme serves as an [[electron donor]] enzyme for many enzymes such as [[steroid]] synthesis enzymes [[CYP17A1]], [[CYP21A2]]. Presentation of cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase deficiency is characterized by combined [[CYP17A1]] and [[CYP21A2]]. Also, cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase enzyme serves as a co-factor for an enzyme called [[lanosterol]] de-methylase ([[CYP51A1]]), which is effective in de novo [[cholesterol]] synthesis.

The cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) enzyme serves as an [[electron donor]] enzyme for many [[enzymes]] such as [[steroid]] synthesis enzymes [[CYP17A1]], and [[CYP21A2]]. Cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase deficiency is characterized by combined [[CYP17A1]] and [[CYP21A2]] deficiency.
* [[CYP17A1]] encodes[[17α-hydroxylase]]/17,20α-hydroxylase, a [[cytochrome P450]] enzyme which acts upon:
** [[Pregnenolone]] and [[progesterone]] to add a [[hydroxyl]] (-OH) group at [[carbon]] 17 of the steroid D ring (the [[hydroxylase]] activity).
** [[17-Hydroxyprogesterone|17-hydroxyprogesterone]] and [[17-Hydroxypregnenolone|17-hydroxypregnenolone]] to split the side chain off the [[steroid]] [[nucleus]].
* [[CYP21A2]] encodes steroid 21-hydroxylase, a [[cytochrome P450]] [[enzyme]] which is involved with the [[biosynthesis]] of the [[Steroid hormone|steroid hormones]] [[aldosterone]] and [[cortisol]].

Overview

Cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase (POR) deficiency is a type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia that caused by mutations in the flavoprotein co-factor of the enzymes CYP17A1, CYP21A2, and CYP19A1 (aromatase). Severe Undervirilization in boys and severe virilization in girls and Antley-Bixler syndrome of craniofacial malformations are clinical finding of cytocrome P450-oxidoreductase deficiency. The mainstay of therapy for cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase deficiency is hydrocortisone to replace glucocorticoid deficiency.

Historical Perspective

In 1865, Luigi De Crecchio, an Italian pathologist was the first who discovered Congenital adrenal hyperplasia.[1]

Classification

There is no established classification system for cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase deficiency.

Pathophysiology

The cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) enzyme serves as an electron donor enzyme for many enzymes such as steroid synthesis enzymes CYP17A1, and CYP21A2. Cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase deficiency is characterized by combined CYP17A1 and CYP21A2 deficiency.

Also, cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase enzyme serves as a co-factor for an enzyme called lanosterol de-methylase (CYP51A1), which is effective in de novo cholesterol synthesis. In this disease cholesterol loss may lead to craniofacial malformations and Antley-Bixler syndrome (ABS).[2][3][4][5][6]

Causes

Cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase (POR) deficiency is caused by mutations in the flavoprotein that is a co-factor of the enzymes CYP17A1, CYP21A2, and CYP19A1 (aromatase).

Differentiating [disease name] from other Diseases

Cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase deficiency must be differentiated from other diseases that cause ambiguous genitalia such as: 21-hydroxylase deficiency, 11-β hydroxylase deficiency, 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency, and gestational hyperandrogenism.

Disease name Steroid status Important clinical findings
Increased Decreased
Classic type of 21-hydroxylase deficiency
11-β hydroxylase deficiency
17-α hydroxylase deficiency
3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency
Gestational hyperandrogenism

Epidemiology and Demographics

Cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase (POR) deficiency is a rere disease with unknown prevalence.[7][8]

Diagnosis

Symptoms and physical Examination

Laboratory Findings

Genetic testing is the gold standard of diagnosis. Pregnenolone, progesterone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone metabolites are increased and androgen metabolites are decreased.[9]

Treatment

Medical Therapy

The mainstay of therapy for cytochrome P450-oxidoreductase deficiency is hydrocortisone to replace glucocorticoid deficiency. Gender-appropriate replacement of androgens or estrogens with progestins is necessary at the puberty time.

  • Preferred regiemen: hydrocortisone oral, 15 to 25 mg/day in 2 to 3 divided doses.

Surgery

The reconstruction surgery for ambiguous genitalia in genetically male patients may be applied.[10]
