Abstract excerpt
To facilitate a rapid and practical molecular diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD), we developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test in which only the 21-OH gene (CYP21) is amplified. We applied the test to diagnose 23 patients with salt-wasting type of 21-OHD. The upstream and downstream sequences of CYP21 have been specifically amplified by using a primer set containing the 8-bp deletion sequence...
