Mutations in the CYP11B2 gene encoding AS are responsible for the occurrence of ASD. Defects in CYP11B2 gene have only been reported in a limited number of cases worldwide. Due to this potential life-threatening risk, a comprehensive hormonal investigation followed by genetic confirmation is essential for the clinical management of offspring.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We report a case of a newborn who was found to have persistent hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, low aldosterone level, raised renin levels, normal cortisol, and normal 17 hydroxyprogesterone level, suggesting the diagnosis of isolated ASD.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Genetic report was suggestive of isolated ASD caused by a novel base pair deletion in exon 3, homozygous CYP11B2 variant (chr8:g.142915123_142915125del; depth: 124x d) (p.Lys175del; ENST00000323110.2).
