Abstract excerpt
We performed molecular genetic analysis of 24 subjects from 19 families with 17-hydroxylase deficiency in Brazil. Of 7 novel CYP17 mutations, 2 (W406R and R362C) account for 50% and 32% of the mutant alleles, respectively. Both mutations were completely inactive when studied in COS-7 cells and yeast microsomes; however, phenotypic features varied among subjects. Some 46,XY individuals with these genotypes had...
