no....i think there is deficiency of 3 beta hydroxysteriod DH.....
it is responsible for the conversion of DHEA to androstenedione, which later gets converted to testo and estro.
defi of 17 beta hydroxilase will result in poor synthesis of DHEA.

i believe that its the 3 B hydroxysteriod dehydrogenase deficiency wud lead to a complete shutdown of the all the products the conversion of DHEA & Androstenedrone Cortisol the only reason i choose C was the P450 C17 is the family of enzymes to which the 17 Beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase belongs to which converts DHEA n Andor, to Testosterone.
