17α-hydroxylase/17,20 lyase deficiency (17OHD) is a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), characterized by hypertension and varying degrees of ambiguous genitalia and delayed puberty. The disease is associated with bi-allelic mutations in the CYP17A1 gene located on chromosome 10q24.3. We aimed to present clinical and genetic findings and follow-up and treatment outcomes of 17OHD patients.
