Aromatase (CYP19A1) catalyses the conversion of androstenedione (ANDST) to estrone (E1). Defects in CYP19A1 can cause aromatase excess syndrome (AEXS; MIM:139300) and aromatase deficiency (AROD; MIM:613546). Affected individuals cannot synthesise endogenous estrogens. In females the lack of estrogen leads to pseudohermaphroditism and progressive virilization at puberty, whereas in males pubertal development is normal (Bulun 2014).
