Abstract excerpt
We present an in vivo and in vitro study of congenital adrenal hyperplasia in a patient with 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency. Genetic analysis showed two new base substitutions of CYP11B1, a conservative transition at the last base of exon 5, and a IVS8+4A-->G transition in intron 8. Difficulties with suppressive therapy resulted in severe hypertension. A laparoscopic adrenalectomy was decided which lead to...
