Inborn errors of aldosterone biosynthesis in humans

Corticosterone methyl oxidase (CMO) type I and type II deficiencies are inborn errors at the penultimate and ultimate steps in the biosynthesis of aldosterone in humans. Recently, steroid 18-hydroxylase (P450C18), or aldosterone synthase (P450aldo), was shown to be a multifunctional enzyme catalyzing these two steps of aldosterone biosynthesis, i.e., the conversion of corticosterone to 18-hydroxycorticosterone and the subsequent conversion of 18-hydroxycorticosterone to aldosterone.
