Abstract excerpt
A total of 33 Italian 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficiency families were investigated using a combination of short and long range restriction mapping of the CYP21/C4 gene cluster. The analyses revealed that large-scale length polymorphism in this gene cluster strictly conformed to a compound variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) plus insertion system with between one and four CYP21 + C4 units and seven BssHII...
