Steroid 17 alpha-hydroxylase (cytochrome P-450(17)alpha) mediates both 17 alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities. A relatively rare disease, 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency is characterized by defects in either or both of these activities. The molecular basis for variability of the defect is not well understood. We have determined the exonic sequence of the mutant P-450(17)alpha gene from one Japanese patient with combined 17 alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiencies. A stop codon (TGA) due to a single point mutation was found at the position of amino acid 17 in exon 1 of the P-450(17)alpha gene. The presence of a stop codon in the N-terminal region of this gene leads to the absence of a functional P-450(17)alpha protein in adrenal cortex and ovary, and consequently hypertension, primary amenorrhea and osteoporosis in this patient.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010024 Osteoporosis Reduction of bone mass without alteration in the composition of bone, leading to fractures.

D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.
