Phenotype ranges, according to the genetic defect, from the salt-wasting form in both sexes to undervirilization in males and virilization in females. We present a 13-month-old male infant who was admitted to the hospital with signs of adrenocortical insufficiency and genital ambiguity. Clinical presentation, hormonal profile, laboratory evaluation, and karyotype were suggestive of the salt-wasting form of CAH due to 3\u03b2HSD2 deficiency. Mutational analysis revealed a missense mutation c.776C&amp;#x3e;T (p.Thr259Met), inherited by the mother, and a frameshift deletion c.818-819delAA (p.Lys273ArgFs*7), inherited by the father. Both mutations are considered pathogenic. To our knowledge this is the first case of an undervirilized male infant with salt wasting bearing this pathogenic frameshift deletion p.Lys273ArgFs*7 in compound heterozygosity with the missense mutation p.Thr259Met. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000519062","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,9]],"date-time":"2021-10-09T23:12:13Z","timestamp":1633821133000},"page":"64-69","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["3\u03b2-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2 (3\u03b2HSD2) Deficiency due to a Novel Compound Heterozygosity of a Missense Mutation (p.Thr259Met) and Frameshift Deletion (p.Lys273ArgFs*7) in an Undervirilized Infant Male with Salt Wasting"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3142-9064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sofia","family":"Leka-Emiri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ludmia","family":"Taibi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vasiliki","family":"Mavroeidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elpis A.","family":"Vlachopapadopoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Kafetzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefanos","family":"Michalacos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"de Roux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12020-018-01835-3"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mce.2017.08.022"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1530\/EC-17-0306"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4274\/jcrpe.3306"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2004-1374"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2004-1552"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/mgme.1998.2715"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gene.2012.04.080"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng0792-239"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1677\/jme.0.0120225"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/hmg\/3.9.1639"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem.78.3.8126127"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/mend.7.5.8316254"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0960-0760(95)00043-y"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2007-1874"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jcem.81.1.8550766.Refstyled"}],"container-title":["Sexual Development"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/519062","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/519062","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T15:22:06Z","timestamp":1745421726000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000519062"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,8]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,13]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,17]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000519062","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1661-5425","1661-5433"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1661-5425"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1661-5433"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,8]]}}}
