    genetic disorder causing hormone imbalances and adrenal gland dysfunction

    11β-Hydroxylase Deficiency is a genetic disorder that affects the adrenal glands, leading to an imbalance in hormone production. Specifically, it results in reduced levels of cortisol and aldosterone, and an excess of androgens, which can cause symptoms like high blood pressure, early puberty, and ambiguous genitalia in newborns. This condition is a form of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH).
