Abstract excerpt
In 96 patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and 50 healthy donors from northwestern Russia the distribution of the HLA-DQA1 alleles and the mutation spectrum and frequency at the CYP21B gene were examined. In the patients with nonclassical (NC) CAH, the distribution of the HLA-DQA1 polymorphic alleles was similar to that in the population sample. In the patients with the salt-wasting form of the...
