The Antley-Bixler syndrome is a rare disorder with many musculoskeletal anomalies that demand orthopedic assessment. The syndrome includes skeletal, craniofacial, and urogenital anomalies. The most common skeletal deformities are radiohumeral synostosis, craniosynostosis, multiple joint contractures, and arachnodactyly. Other orthopedic manifestations that may occur are femoral bowing, ulnar bowing, camptodactyly, synostoses of carpal and tarsal bones, clubfoot, vertebral body anomalies, perinatal fractures, and advanced skeletal age. The inheritance pattern is thought to be autosomal recessive. A patient with this syndrome is described, which is the 18th of 24 reports published in the world literature. This case is compared with the other reported cases.

Disordered electron transfer: New forms of defective steroidogenesis and mitochondriopathy.

Article Synopsis
- * Most steroidogenic enzymes are cytochrome P450s, requiring electron donation from specific proteins (POR or FDXR/FDX), with deficiencies in these proteins linked to various health issues, including the rare CAH caused by POR deficiency.
- * Recent research has found mutations in FDXR linked to serious neurological symptoms and adrenal insufficiency, indicating the need for interdisciplinary collaboration among specialists when evaluating these patients.

Article Synopsis
- Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (PORD) is a rare genetic condition causing issues like skeletal deformities, ambiguous genitalia, and menstrual problems due to mutations affecting metabolism and hormone synthesis.
- * Advances in molecular biology have improved understanding and diagnosis of PORD, yet challenges remain due to overlapping symptoms with other disorders and lack of treatment guidelines, which can lead to severe complications if mismanaged.
- * Timely and accurate diagnosis, possibly through prenatal methods, along with appropriate management, is crucial to improve long-term outcomes and avoid serious health risks like adrenal crises or improper sex assignment.

Objective: To raise awareness of Cytochrome P450 Oxidoreductase Deficiency (PORD, a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), through a case of pregnant woman with virilization symptoms.
Case Description: A 30-year-old Chinese woman was referred to hospital after 7 years of presenting signs of virilization, including voice deepening, acromegaly, hirsutism, clitoromegaly, and acne. These symptoms appeared since her third gestation.

Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is a membrane-bound flavoprotein that helps in transferring electrons from its NADPH domain to all cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes. Mutations in the POR gene could severely affect the metabolism of steroid hormones and the development of skeletal muscles, a condition known as Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (PORD). PORD is associated with clinical presentations of disorders of sex development, Antley and Bixler's syndrome (ABS), as well as an abnormal steroid hormone profile.

Recent work has found increasing evidence of mitigated, incompletely penetrant phenotypes in heterozygous carriers of recessive Mendelian disease variants. We leveraged whole-exome imputation within the full UK Biobank cohort (n ∼ 500K) to extend such analyses to 3,475 rare variants curated from ClinVar and OMIM. Testing these variants for association with 58 quantitative traits yielded 102 significant associations involving variants previously implicated in 34 different diseases.
