D006908	Hydroxyprogesterones	Metabolites or derivatives of PROGESTERONE with hydroxyl group substitution at various sites.
D000312	Adrenal Hyperplasia, Congenital	A group of inherited disorders of the ADRENAL GLANDS, caused by enzyme defects in the synthesis of cortisol (HYDROCORTISONE) and/or ALDOSTERONE leading to accumulation of precursors for ANDROGENS. Depending on the hormone imbalance, congenital adrenal hyperplasia can be classified as salt-wasting, hypertensive, virilizing, or feminizing. Defects in STEROID 21-HYDROXYLASE; STEROID 11-BETA-HYDROXYLASE; STEROID 17-ALPHA-HYDROXYLASE; 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASES); TESTOSTERONE 5-ALPHA-REDUCTASE; or steroidogenic acute regulatory protein; among others, underlie these disorders.

D019326	17-alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone	A metabolite of PROGESTERONE with a hydroxyl group at the 17-alpha position. It serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of HYDROCORTISONE and GONADAL STEROID HORMONES.	17-Hydroxyprogesterone,17 alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone,17-Hydroxyprogesterone, (17 alpha)-Isomer,17-Hydroxyprogesterone, (9 beta, 10 alpha)-Isomer,17 Hydroxyprogesterone,17 alpha Hydroxyprogesterone
