Deoxycorticosterone (DOC) is a precursor of corticosterone and aldosterone. The elevations of DOC observed in patients with 11-hydroxylase deficiency (the second leading cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia) may reflect the hypertension observed. Patients with DOC-secreting tumors also exhibit hypertension. Source: Regenstrief Institute
