21-deoxycortisol (21-DF) is a steroid of strictly adrenal origin formed by the 11-hydroxylation of 17-hydroxyprogesterone. This metabolic pathway is minor in normal subjects, in whom basal plasma concentrations range from 0.03 to 0.63 nmol/L and from 0.865 to 1.50 nmol/L
21-Hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is the commonest form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, while 11betaOHD represents 5% of cases. Although both result from mutations in distinct genes, cases of 'apparent' combined 21OHD and 11betaOHD (AC21,11OHD) have been occasionally reported. A 6 year-old
A radioimmunoassay of three deoxycorticoids, namely 11 beta,17 alpha-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (21-deoxycortisol), 17 alpha,21-dihydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (11-deoxycortisol), and 21-hydroxy-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (11-deoxycorticosterone) which are important for differential diagnosis of congenital adrenal disorders, is described and evaluated. Antisera against 3-(O-carboxymethyl)oximes conjugated to bovine serum albumin were raised
