Abstract

Mutation on NROB1 (DAX1) gene can cause different phenotypes of adrenal insufficiency in infancy. Long-term evolution of these patients shows that it is possible to have an association with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. In this article we describe the evolution of a patient with NROB1 gene mutation, diagnosed with a mild form of adrenal insufficiency, and we highlight the presence of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and short stature, besides the presence of attention deficit disorder. Such associations should make physicians aware during the follow-up of patients with this disease.Mutações no gene NROB1 (DAX1) podem levar a quadros de insuficiência adrenal com diferentes formas de apresentação na infância. A evolução a longo prazo desses pacientes mostra que pode haver associação com hipogonadismo hipogonadotrófico. Neste artigo, relatamos a evolução de um paciente com uma mutação do gene NROB1, diagnosticado com uma forma leve de insuficiência adrenal, na qual chamamos a atenção para a evolução com hipogonadismo hipogonadotrófico e baixa estatura final, além de apresentar transtorno de déficit de atenção. Tais associações devem ser motivo de atenção para os médicos no seguimento de pacientes portadores dessa alteração.
