Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the major cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is divided into three classes: salt-wasting (classical), non-classical and simple virilizing, reflecting different degrees of clinical severity. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridisation (ASO), we screened the DNA of 62 Caucasian CAH...
