RÉSUMÉ
Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare inherited disorder which may be caused by mutations in the ACTH receptor (melanocortin 2 receptor, MC2R) named FGD type 1 or by mutations in the MC2R accessory protein (MRAP) named FGD type 2. We report the case history of a male patient from birth until adulthood with FGD type 2, confirmed by a mutation of the MRAP gene.
