Abstract

The response to administered adrenocorticotropin (ACTH, Cortrosyn) of 26 heterozygotes (parents of children with adrenal 21-hydroxylase deficiency) and of 14 controls are compared. The mean plasma levels of 4-pregnene-3, 20-dione-17, 21-diol (17-OH progesterone) were significantly greater in the heterozygotes 60 minutes (p<0.02) and 90 minutes (p<0.05) after stimulation with Cortrosyn than in controls. There is, however, considerable overlap. The results would indicate a partial enzyme deficiency in the parents of diseased subjects. There was no significant difference in the response of plasma cortisol.
