High frequency of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (classic 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency) among Jews from Morocco.

American journal of medical genetics - 1 Apr 1992

Rösler A, Leiberman E, Cohen T

Abstract excerpt

Steroid 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency is relatively frequent in Israel among North African Jews. Over a 39-year period, 38 affected individuals from 25 families were diagnosed. Nineteen families came from Morocco, and in another 2, one parent came from Morocco (80% of all parents). Demographic studies showed that most of their grandparents were born in the region of the Atlas Mountains. In Israel, the overall...
