An anomalous response to stimulation by administration of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH stimulation normally stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol and adrenaline.
Summary
- Also called

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abnormal response to ACTH stimulation test is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| MC2Rmelanocortin 2 receptor | Always | In 1 condition |
| NFKB2nuclear factor kappa B subunit 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| CYP17A1cytochrome P450 family 17 subfamily A member 1 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| PORcytochrome p450 oxidoreductase | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| RBM28RNA binding motif protein 28 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| TXNRD2thioredoxin reductase 2 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
