Adrenal 21-hydroxylase gene mutations in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women: evaluation of corticotrophin stimulation and HLA polymorphisms in screening for carrier status.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To study the incidence of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, at the gene level. Previous endocrine studies indicated large differences in the incidence of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in hyperandrogenic women. The predictive values of the 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) response to ACTH stimulation and of HLA typing in screening for carrier status were re-evaluated. DESIGN:...
