Elevated Levels of Plasma Immunoassayable Aldosterone in a Mild Form of 17 Alpha-Hydroxylase/17,20-lyase Deficiency Diagnosed at the Age of 50

Objective: 17 Alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency (17OHD) is a form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the CYP17A1 gene. Impaired activities of 17 alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase typically induce hypertension, hypokalemia, and amenorrhea, with the vast majority of patients with 17OHD are diagnosed in adolescence.
