Use of PCR-Based Amplification Analysis as a Substitute for the Southern Blot Method for CYP21 Deletion Detection in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
25 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a common autosomal recessive disorder caused mainly by defects in the steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21). The defective CYP21 genes in CAH fall into one of three categories: (a) small-scale conversions from CYP21P; (b) spontaneous mutations; and (c) chimeric RCCX modules that include the chimeric CYP21P/CYP21 gene (1) and the chimeric TNXA/TNXB gene (2)(3)(4). The RCCX...
