Detection and assignment of CYP21 mutations using peptide mass signature genotyping.

Abstract excerpt

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a common inborn error of steroidogenesis. The clinical spectrum of CAH ranges from the severe classical form, which can be fatal in the newborn, to simple virilizing forms or a milder non-classical form which is often not diagnosed until puberty. Recessive mutations in the autosomal gene encoding 21-hydroxylase (CYP21) are responsible for approximately 95% of CAH cases....
