No overrepresentation of congenital adrenal hyperplasia in patients with adrenocortical tumours.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The development and progression of sporadic adrenocortical tumours are poorly understood. In autopsy studies adrenocortical tumours are found in between 2 and 9% of the general population. In congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), decreased production of cortisol leads to increased secretion of ACTH from the pituitary, resulting in hyperplasia of the adrenals. More than 95% of all cases of CAH are due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency, resulting from mutations in the CYP21 gene. In subjects homozygous and heterozygous for CYP21 mutations, adrenocortical tumours have been found in a high frequency compared to the general population, suggesting that chronic ACTH stimulation may play a role in the development of this tumour form. In order to test whether mild undiagnosed CAH is a common predisposing factor, we screened 27 patients with sporadic adrenocortical tumours for CYP21 mutations. DESIGN:A retrospective study. PATIENTS:We screened 27 patients with sporadic adrenocortical tumours, representing both benign and malignant as well as hormonally active and silent lesions. MEASUREMENTS:Mutation analyses of the CYP21 gene was performed by allele-specific PCR on high molecular weight DNA. The method used detects the nine CYP21 mutations that are responsible for 95% of all disease-causing alleles in CAH. RESULTS:No mutations were detected in any of the 23 DNA samples that were prepared from leucocytes. In 4 cases where no leucocyte DNA was available, tumour tissue was analysed. In one of these tumours, two CYP21 mutations, V281 L and L307insT, were found in heterozygous form. CONCLUSION:Our data indicate that mild undiagnosed congenital adrenal hyperplasia is not a common underlying factor predisposing to adrenocortical tumours, at least not in the Swedish population.
