  • Title: [Late discovery of female pseudo-hermaphroditism by complete blockade 21-hydroxylase (author's transl)].
    Author: Heim J, Massart C, Lémée F, Amice-Chambon V.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1981 Dec 26; 10(47):3841-3. PubMed ID: 6977130.
    Abstract:
    The authors report on a case where complete blockade of 21-hydroxylase was discovered in a 40-year-old subject. They emphasize the usefulness of urinary 17-ketosteroid and 17-OH progesterone assays in the diagnosis of pseudo-hermaphroditism. In contrast to major hyperandrogenism, the HY antigen test is negative, since the percentage of fluorescent lymphocytes is even lower than in the normal female population.
