Abstract

BACKGROUND: Coexistence of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and congenital hypothyroidism (CH) due to TG mutation in the same non-consanguineous family is rare. Case Series: We report 4 siblings born to unrelated parents, the father being an asymptomatic carrier of homozygous p.V281L and heterozygous p.I172N CYP21A2 mutations. Sibling 1 had salt-wasting CAH (CYP21A2 genotype Intron 2 splice/p.I172N and p.V281L). She also had CH (TG genotype p.R296/ p.T1416Rfs*30) and learning difficulties. Poor compliance and morbid obesity resulted in short stature, precocious puberty, hirsutism, amenorrhoea, insulin insensitivity and a possible adrenal adenoma. Sibling 3 (CYP21A2 and TG genotype similar to sibling 1) is a boy presenting with salt-wasting CAH, CH, and developmental delay. He was overweight and underwent precocious puberty. Although siblings 2 and 4 (both females) share the same CYP21A2 genotype (Intron 2 splice/p.V281L), the former only had biochemical evidence of CAH, while the latter presented at 9.8 years of age with a history of pubarche at 7 years and advanced bone age. CONCLUSIONS: We report the unusual occurrence of 2 rare autosomal recessive diseases, CAH and CH. Our cases highlight the phenotypic variability of CAH and CH due to TG mutations, even within a single family, and illustrate the importance of optimal disease control.
