gene: HSD11B2 was added to Baby Screen+ newborn screening. Sources: Expert list
treatable, endocrine tags were added to gene: HSD11B2.
Mode of inheritance for gene: HSD11B2 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Phenotypes for gene: HSD11B2 were set to Apparent mineralocorticoid excess, MIM# 218030; MONDO:0009025
Review for gene: HSD11B2 was set to GREEN
Added comment: Apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME) is an autosomal recessive form of low-renin hypertension associated with low aldosterone, metabolic alkalosis, hypernatremia, and hypokalemia. The disorder is due to a congenital defect in 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II (HSD11B2) activity, resulting in decreased conversion of biologically active cortisol to inactive cortisone; this defect allows cortisol to act as a ligand for the mineralocorticoid receptor, resulting in sodium retention and volume expansion. There is a favorable therapeutic response to spironolactone. More than 10 unrelated families reported.

Onset is usually in infancy or early childhood.

Non-genetic confirmatory testing: aldosterone, renin, potassium levels
