CYP11B1

protein-coding

cytochrome P450 family 11 subfamily B member 1, the group of Cytochrome P450 family 11

Gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the mitochondrial inner membrane and is involved in the conversion of progesterone to cortisol in the adrenal cortex. Mutations in this gene cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.

Adrenal hyperplasia, congenital, due to 11-beta-hydroxylase deficiency; Hyperaldosteronism, familial, type IAD/AR

Manifestation: Endocrine; Oncologic; Genitourinary

Intervention: Endocrine; Oncologic; Genitourinary

Rationale: In Adrenal hyperplasia, treatment of manifestations such as hypertension (fatal vascular accidents have been reported in individuals with relatively mild virilization) and hypokalemia, as well as genitourinary anomalies, can be beneficial; Screening for oncologic complications (eg, testicular adrenal rest tumors) can allow early detection and treatment; In Hyperaldosteronism, familial, type I, medical treatment (eg, with glucocorticoids) can be beneficial

Comments: Glucocorticoid-remediable aldosteronism involves a fusion gene (with CYP11B2)

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_000497.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Has steroid 11-beta-hydroxylase activity. In addition to this activity, the 18 or 19-hydroxylation of steroids and the aromatization of androstendione to estrone have also been ascribed to cytochrome P450 XIB.;
Disease
DISEASE: Adrenal hyperplasia 4 (AH4) [MIM:202010]: A form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a common recessive disease due to defective synthesis of cortisol. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is characterized by androgen excess leading to ambiguous genitalia in affected females, rapid somatic growth during childhood in both sexes with premature closure of the epiphyses and short adult stature. Four clinical types: 'salt wasting' (SW, the most severe type), 'simple virilizing' (SV, less severely affected patients), with normal aldosterone biosynthesis, 'non-classic form' or late- onset (NC or LOAH) and 'cryptic' (asymptomatic). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16046588, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20089618, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2022736, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20331679, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20947076, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23940125, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24022297, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24536089, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24987415, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26053152, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26476331, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9302260}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Hyperaldosteronism, familial, 1 (HALD1) [MIM:103900]: A disorder characterized by hypertension, variable hyperaldosteronism, and abnormal adrenal steroid production, including 18-oxocortisol and 18-hydroxycortisol. There is significant phenotypic heterogeneity, and some individuals never develop hypertension. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. The molecular defect causing hyperaldosteronism familial 1 is an anti-Lepore-type fusion of the CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 genes. The hybrid gene has the promoting part of CYP11B1, ACTH-sensitive, and the coding part of CYP11B2.;
