Summaries for Leydig Cell Tumor

About this section
MalaCards based summary : Leydig Cell Tumor, also known as leydig cell tumor, benign, is related to sertoli-leydig cell tumor and testicular leydig cell tumor. An important gene associated with Leydig Cell Tumor is CYP19A1 (Cytochrome P450 Family 19 Subfamily A Member 1), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Aldosterone synthesis and secretion and Glucose / Energy Metabolism. The drugs Testosterone and Testosterone enanthate have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include ovary, testis and breast, and related phenotypes are endocrine/exocrine gland and behavior/neurological
