Diagnostic ratios and summation of urinary cortisol and androgen metabolites as assessed by GC/MS in patients and their family members

(THF+5α-THF)/THE Cortols/cortolones Total androgens, μg/24 h Total cortisol metabolites, μg/24 h
Case A (46,XY) 0.26* 0.13* 4,945 10,770
Mother A 0.29* 0.13* 5,579 12,701
Father A 0.95 0.61 5,639 9,211
Case B (46,XY) 0.16* 0.14* 7,740 8,151
Mother B 0.50* 0.17* 8,248 15,073
Father B 0.75 0.33 6,354 11,319

Total metabolites reflect 24-h secretion rates of adrenal cortisol and androgens, respectively. Total androgens represent androsterone + etiocholanolone + dehydroepiandrosterone. Total cortisol metabolites represent THF + 5α-THF + THE + cortols + cortolones + free F + free E.

*Decreased below the minimum of the sex- and age-specific reference cohort.

Increased above the maximum of the sex- and age-specific reference cohort.
