Abstract excerpt
The correlation of genotype to phenotype in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency has been investigated thoroughly since the mapping of the CYP21 gene to the short arm of chromosome 6. In most instances, it is possible to accurately predict the phenotype based on g...
