Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aims of the present study were (a) to examine the occurrence of 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21) mutations in patients with unilateral and bilateral adrenal incidentalomas and (b) to correlate the results of mutation screening with hormonal parameters of 21-hydroxylase deficiency. DESIGN: The frequency of the eight commonly occurring CYP21 mutations in blood DNA samples of 19 patients with bilateral, as...
