1. Sequence defects (16q22.1) cause Monogenic Hypertension Syndrome in children (with muscle weakness in severe forms)as result of apparent mineralocorticoid excess. PMID: 29229168
2. High systemic 11beta-HSD2 activity in preeclampsia but not in intrauterine growth retardation suggests an increased cortisol deactivation in maternal tissue in preeclampsia rather than in the placenta. PMID: 29523277
3. Analyses demonstrated a trend in the association between maternal trait anxiety and depression symptoms with placental gene expression of NR3C1. We found a significant interaction with maternal ethnicity. In Caucasians only, prenatal trait anxiety and depressive symptoms were associated with an increase in placental NR3C1 expression, and prenatal life events were associated with a down regulation of HSD11B2 PMID: 29100173
4. mutations that allow the formation of an inactive dimer, alter substrate/coenzyme binding, or impair structural stability of HSD11B2 yield severe apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME). In contrast, mutations that cause an indirect disruption of substrate binding or mildly alter intramolecular interactions result in type 2 AME. PMID: 29229831
5. Six sequence variations were observed. Four mutations were indicated in the coding region of HSD11B2 and the other two in 3'-UTR. Two SNPs: c.468C > A and c.534G > A were found to be in total disequilibrium. High variability in HSD11B2 sequence was indicated in the study population, but the relevance of observed SNPs to gestational hypertension or pre-eclampsia development was not confirmed.

43. Data suggest that expression of HSD11B2 in placenta/trophoblast cells is regulated, in part, via the ERK1/2 (mitogen-activated protein kinases 3/1) signaling pathway; this pathway mediates cadmium chloride repression of placental HSD11B2 activity. PMID: 23966319
