T: testosterone (NR: 3–10 ng/dL); AE: androstenedione (NR: 0.28–1.75 ng/dL); E2: estradiol; F1: cortisol (NR: 5–23 μg/dL); F: female; M: male; Het: heterozygote; Hom: homozygote; DHEA: dehydroepiandrosterone (NR: 3–83 μg/L); ACTH: adrenocorticotropic hormone (NR: 25–100 pg/mL); 17-OHP: 17 α-hydroxyprogesterone (NR: 0.2–2.3 nmol/L); LH: luteinizing hormone; FSH: follicle-stimulating hormone; B : breast; Tes: testicular enlargement, m = months, NA = not available, BA/BC = bone age/bone chronological age. According to human genome variation nomenclature, the naming is p.Gln319Ter, which is routinely used as p.Gln318Ter as previously named; and p.Val282Leu is named as p.Val281Leu.
