Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To establish a rapid method of detecting CYP21 gene mutations. METHODS: Fifty Chinese patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency and some of their families were investigated. Blood samples were obtained for extraction of peripheral blood lymphocytes. A search for restriction sites discriminating between the morbid and the normal in CYP21 gene was made by the computer program DNAssist. PCR-based...
