Genetic related adrenocortical insufficiency is the congenital clinical manifestation of absence or deficiency in the production of glucocorticoids.

The pathology of genetic related adrenocortical insufficiency is: 

-Etiology: The cause of genetic related adrenocortical insufficiency is auto-immunity.

-Pathogenesis: The sequence of events that lead to genetic related adrenocortical insufficiency is that it occurs most often when patients have an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack the glands.

Patients with genetic related adrenocortical insufficiency typically are either male or female present at the age range of all age groups. The symptoms, features, and clinical findings associated with infection related adrenocortical insufficiency include several cardinal symptoms including anorexia, orthostatic hypotension, salt craving, weakness, fatigue, and hyperpigmentation.

Genetic related adrenocortical insufficiency is diagnosed with a blood sample. 

Genetic related adrenocortical insufficiency is treated with hormone replacement therapy is a common form of treatment for adrenal insufficiency, which involves replacing the hormones that the adrenal glands no longer produce, including cortisol. 

The prognosis of genetic related adrenocortical insufficiency is good.
