POR deficiency is a rare but well-described form of CAH characterized by impaired activity of 21-hydroxylase (P450c21, CYP21A2) and 17-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (P450c17, CYP17A1); more severely affected individuals also have the Antley-Bixler skeletal malformation syndrome and disordered genital development in both sexes, and hence is easily recognized. This evidence concerns the gene CYP21A2 and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
