Notes

c.749G>A (p.Trp250Ter) Named i5007374 by 23andMe.

T;T

Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia (LCAH) is considered to be potentially life-threatening unless treated in early infancy; see links at STAR gene and via ClinVar.

C;T

Unaffected in absence of a second mutation in the STAR gene; see STAR gene for discussion and ClinVar links.
