"[ We conclude that this polymorphism has no major influence on normal zona glomerulosa function but is associated with a change in 11beta-hydroxylation in the zona fasciculata. The mechanism remains uncertain, but alteration of 11-deoxycortisol levels without change in cortisol suggests altered efficiency of 11beta-hydroxylation. In the long term, this may lead to a minor but chronic increase in ACTH drive to the gland, which may have consequences for steroid synthesis and predispose to the risk of cardiovascular disease.].
