NR0B1 p.Tyr378Cys segregates in an AHC family with a variable degree of adrenal and gonadal phenotypes, and its hemizygous trait explains the disease in affected family members. We recommend that NR0B1 mutation carriers, even those that are allegedly asymptomatic, be carefully monitored while reinforcing education to prevent PAI and consider early sperm banking when spermatogenesis still viable.
