Abstract excerpt
Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) compromises about 95% of all cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. We have characterized the disease-causing mutations in the steroid 21-hydroxylase genes of 19 Chilean patients (12 females and 7 males) with the simple virilizing (SV) form of 21OHD and compared them with other SV-populations. Using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction, we identified lesions in 28...
