SGPL1 Deficiency: A Rare Cause of Primary Adrenal Insufficiency

New genetic causes of PAI continue to be identified. We suggest that screening for SGPL1 mutations should not be reserved only for patients with nephrotic syndrome but may also include patients with PAI who lack other clinical manifestations of NPHS14 because, in certain cases, kidney disease and accompanying features might develop. Timely diagnosis of this specific sphingolipidosis while the kidneys still function normally can lead to prompt initiation of therapy and improve outcome.
