Abstract excerpt
Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is caused by defectiveness of the CYP21 gene. Such defects have presumably originated from interactions with the nearby CYP21P pseudogene during evolution. We studied these mechanisms by comparing the genetic variability of CYP21, CYP21P, and CYP21P/CYP21 hybrids (resulting from large-scale rearrangements) at eight mutation sites in a group of Dutch steroid 21-hydroxylase...
