Popis: Abstract We report the first case of classic lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia and combined pituitary hormone deficiency. We identified pathogenic variants in the STAR gene: a novel variant of c.126_127delCCinsG, namely, p.Thr44Profs*2 and an already reported variant of c.634C>T, namely, p.Gln212*. The association with combined pituitary hormone deficiency might be just a coincidence.
