Purpose: Genotype–phenotype correlation in congenital 21 hydroxylase deficiency is strong but by no means absolute. Indeed, clinical and hormonal features may vary among patients carrying similar CYP21A2 mutations, suggesting that modifier genes may contribute to the phenotype. Aim of the present study was to evaluate whether polymorphisms in the p450 oxidoreductase (POR) gene may affect clinical features in patients with 21 hydroxylase deficiency Methods: Sequencing of the POR gene was performed in 96 patients with 21 hydroxylase deficiency (49 classic, 47 non-classic) and 43 control subjects. Results: Prevalence of POR polymorphisms in patients with 21 hydroxylase was comparable to controls and known databases. The rs2228104 polymorphism was more frequently associated with non-classic vs classic 21 hydroxylase deficiency (allelic risk 7.09; 95% C.I. 1.4–29.5, p < 0.05). Classic 21 hydroxylase-deficient carriers of the minor allele in the rs2286822/rs2286823 haplotype presented more frequently the salt-wasting form (allelic risk 1.375; 95% C.I. 1.138–1.137), more severe Prader stage at birth (allelic risk 3.85; 95% C.I. 3.78–3.92), higher ACTH levels, and younger age at diagnosis. Conclusions: Polymorphisms in the POR gene are associated with clinical features of 21 hydroxylase deficiency both as regards predisposition to classic vs non-classic forms and severity of classic adrenal hyperplasia.

Abstract
Purpose: Genotype–phenotype correlation in congenital 21 hydroxylase deficiency is strong but by no means absolute. Indeed, clinical and hormonal features may vary among patients carrying similar CYP21A2 mutations, suggesting that modifier genes may contribute to the phenotype. Aim of the present study was to evaluate whether polymorphisms in the p450 oxidoreductase (POR) gene may affect clinical features in patients with 21 hydroxylase deficiency Methods: Sequencing of the POR gene was performed in 96 patients with 21 hydroxylase deficiency (49 classic, 47 non-classic) and 43 control subjects. Results: Prevalence of POR polymorphisms in patients with 21 hydroxylase was comparable to controls and known databases. The rs2228104 polymorphism was more frequently associated with non-classic vs classic 21 hydroxylase deficiency (allelic risk 7.09; 95% C.I. 1.4–29.5, p < 0.05). Classic 21 hydroxylase-deficient carriers of the minor allele in the rs2286822/rs2286823 haplotype presented more frequently the salt-wasting form (allelic risk 1.375; 95% C.I. 1.138–1.137), more severe Prader stage at birth (allelic risk 3.85; 95% C.I. 3.78–3.92), higher ACTH levels, and younger age at diagnosis.
