BACKGROUND

Combined 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency is a rare cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and hypogonadism. Novel single amino acid changes in P450c17 provide potentially important insights into key structural domains for enzyme function.

OBJECTIVE

We report a novel missense mutation in P450c17 in a 17-yr-old female presenting with a malignant mixed germ cell tumor with yolk sac elements who demonstrated clinical and biochemical features of combined 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency.

METHODS

Quantitative urinary steroid analysis was performed by high resolution gas chromatography. All eight coding exons of CYP17 were PCR amplified and sequenced. The position of arginine at codon 96 was modeled using the CYP17 structure 2c17 (www.rcsb.org). The CYP17 genes were subcloned into pcDNA3, expressed in HEK-293 cells, and chromatographed.

RESULTS

17alpha-Hydroxylase deficiency was confirmed by marked reductions in urinary and serum cortisol, androgens, and estradiol. Mutational analysis revealed a novel homozygous R96Q missense mutation in P450c17, affecting an amino acid in a key substrate-binding region of the enzyme, leading to complete inactivity.

CONCLUSIONS

The description of a second missense mutation at codon 96 (R96W and R96Q) in the substrate-binding region of P450c17 provides strong evidence for the key role of this amino acid in 17alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase function. An association between a malignant germ cell tumor and 17alpha-hydroxylase deficiency has not been reported previously, although the presence of gonadoblastoma in the ovary of a patient with this condition has recently been described.
