Certain genetic variants impair enzyme activity, contributing to non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH) can mimic PCOS and requires genetic testing for proper diagnosis and treatment.

A new mutation in the CYP11B1 gene was found in a woman with mild hyperandrogenemia, a rare cause of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Acne not improved by usual treatments may indicate a genetic disorder.

A boy with a new NR5A1 gene mutation has a sex development disorder without affecting his adrenal glands.

Early adrenal gland maturation in young children can be normal, but other serious conditions should be ruled out first.

Hormone imbalances from the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands can cause infertility, but treating these disorders can improve fertility.

Blocking CRF1 receptors improved male hormone levels and reduced testicular tumor size in men with a specific adrenal condition.

Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.

A new gene mutation causes female pseudohermaphroditism due to glucocorticoid resistance.

Acne is a chronic disease linked to various systemic conditions and has significant psychological and social effects.

Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in women often caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome, and identifying the cause is important for managing associated health risks.

To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.

The conclusion is that hirsutism should be diagnosed and treated because it affects quality of life and may signal other health problems.

Women with androgen excess, especially those with PCOS, have a much higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

The book explains how excess male hormones can affect various conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Cushing's disease.

Treat hirsutism in premenopausal women with oral contraceptives and consider additional treatments if needed.

The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.

The document talks about hard-to-treat and rare acne types, their connection with other health issues, the importance of correct diagnosis, and the challenges in managing them.

The document concludes that a systematic approach is crucial to identify causes of androgen excess in women beyond the most common cause, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

The study concluded that androstendione and DHEA are important for diagnosing high male hormone levels in women with excessive hair growth.

Nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency is a common, treatable genetic disorder causing reversible symptoms like acne and hair loss.

Skin problems can be signs of hormone-related disorders and recognizing them early is important for treatment.

Excess male hormones in postmenopausal women can cause health issues and increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes; treatment depends on the cause.

Diabetes can lead to blindness and skin problems, and managing blood sugar and blood pressure is crucial to prevent these complications.

Finasteride reduces hair growth in women with hirsutism and works better with electrolysis.

Hirsutism requires identifying the cause to choose the right treatment, which may include medications like oral contraceptives or dexamethasone.

AGA in children needs careful diagnosis due to low androgen levels and possible other causes.

The document concludes that most patients with endocrine disorders experience diffuse, non-scarring hair loss, with scarring hair loss being rare.

Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
