Key Points

The research aims to identify new genetic variants in the NR0B1 gene related to X-linked congenital adrenal hypoplasia.
Analysis of genetic samples from twelve Brazilian families diagnosed with X-linked congenital adrenal hypoplasia.
Identification of molecular variants and rearrangements in the NR0B1 gene.
Assessment of clinical management practices based on genetic findings.
Discovery of new rearrangements and variants in the NR0B1 gene relevant to X-linked congenital adrenal hypoplasia.
Highlighting the importance of early genetic testing for accurate diagnosis and long-term management.

Abstract

This study represents one of the largest Brazilian series of X-hypoAC. The present findings broaden the molecular landscape of NR0B1 variants and underscore the relevance of early genetic testing to differentiate X-hypoAC from congenital adrenal hyperplasia, optimize long-term clinical management, and provide accurate genetic counseling for affected families.
