Summary

Familial glucocorticoid deficiency-5 (GCCD5) is characterized by resistance to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and isolated glucocorticoid deficiency, with typical biochemical findings of low serum cortisol levels and high plasma ACTH. Patients commonly present with hyperpigmentation (Prasad et al., 2014). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of familial glucocorticoid deficiency, see GCCD1 (202200). [from OMIM]
