Particular interest of HLA typing for genetic counselling in families with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21-OH deficiency). 1987

P Couillin, and J Boué, and H Bétuel, and J Hors, and L Gebuhrer, and A Boué

The close genetic linkage between 21 hydroxylase deficiency and HLA loci considerably enlarges the possibilities of genetic counselling. Two 21-OH deficient complex families are reported, illustrating several aspects of this genetic counselling: detection of carriers, determination of the actual risk to related couples, suspicion of 21-OH deficiency by an HLA specificity association, and prenatal diagnosis.

D005817 Genetic Counseling An educational process that provides information and advice to individuals or families about a genetic condition that may affect them. The purpose is to help individuals make informed decisions about marriage, reproduction, and other health management issues based on information about the genetic disease, the available diagnostic tests, and management programs. Psychosocial support is usually offered. Counseling, Genetic,Genetic Counseling, Prenatal,Prenatal Genetic Counseling

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.
