StAR Protein Deficiency in Clinical Practice: A Case Series From Saudi Arabia
This study highlights the diverse clinical spectrum of StAR deficiency, ranging from early adrenal crisis to DSD and atypical presentations such as cholestasis. The findings underscore the importance of early genetic diagnosis and counseling, particularly in consanguineous populations, and point to the need for continued research into the clinical and molecular complexity of StAR deficiency.
