Abstract: Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) is a potentially life-threatening condition that can present with non-specific features and can be difficult to diagnose. Here, we undertook next-generation sequencing in a cohort of children and young adults with PAI of unknown etiology from around the world and identified a heterozygous missense variant (rs6161, c.940G>A, p.Glu314Lys) in CYP11A1 in 19 individuals from 13 different families (allele frequency within undiagnosed PAI in our cohort 0.102 vs 0.0026 in gnomAD, p<0.0001). Seventeen individuals harbored a second heterozygous rare disruptive variant in CYP11A1 and two patients had very rare synonymous changes in trans (c.990G>A, Thr330=; c.1173C>T, Ser391=).
