Abstract excerpt
The most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The molecular genetics of this disease are such that genotyping is a potentially useful tool in its diagnosis. An assay was developed using real-time, quantitative PCR to detect deletions of the steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21A2). This assay was able to detect heterozygous gene deletions with an alpha error rate of...
