Cortisol is the offending mineralocorticoid in AME, as the result of a lack of 11\u03b2-HSD2\u2013mediated cortisol to cortisone inactivation. In this study, we describe mutations in the\n            <jats:italic>HSD11B2<\/jats:italic>\n            gene in 3 additional AME kindreds in which probands presented in adult life, with milder phenotypes including the original seminal case reported by Stewart and Edwards. Genetic analysis of the\n            <jats:italic>HSD11B2<\/jats:italic>\n            gene revealed that all probands were compound heterozygotes, for a total of 7 novel coding and noncoding mutations. Of the 7 mutations detected, 6 were investigated for their effects on gene expression and enzyme activity by the use of mutant cDNA and minigene constructs transfected into HEK 293 cells. Four missense mutations resulted in enzymes with varying degrees of activity, all &lt;10% of wild type. A further 2 mutations generated incorrectly spliced mRNA and predicted severely truncated, inactive enzyme. The mothers of 2 probands heterozygous for missense mutations have presented with a phenotype indistinguishable from \u201cessential\u201d hypertension. These genetic and biochemical data emphasize the heterogeneous nature of AME and the effects that heterozygosity at the\n            <jats:italic>HSD11B2<\/jats:italic>\n            locus can have on blood pressure in later life.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.hyp.0000083340.57063.35","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,15]],"date-time":"2003-07-15T00:31:47Z","timestamp":1058229107000},"page":"123-129","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Late-Onset Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess Caused by Novel Compound Heterozygous Mutations in the HSD11B2 Gene"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Gareth G.","family":"Lavery","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Division of Medical Sciences, University of Birmingham, Queen Elizabeth Hospital (G.G.L., N.D., E.H.R., E.A.W., C.L.M., M.H., P.M.S.), Edgbaston, Birmingham, UK;
