Abstract excerpt
More than 90% of cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are caused by mutations of the CYP21 gene. The occurrence of defective CYP21 genes, including 15 mutations, has been attributed to intergenic recombination of DNA sequences from CYP21P, and shows no influence on the RP1-C4A-CYP21P-XA-RP2-C4BCYP21- TNXB gene locus on chromosome 6p21.3. However, multiple gene deletions in this region produce at least...
