A Novel Mutation L260P of the Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein Gene in Three Unrelated Patients of Swiss Ancestry with Congenital Lipoid Adrenal Hyperplasia
1 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is the most severe form of CAH leading to impaired production of all adrenal and gonadal steroids. Mutations in the gene encoding steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) cause lipoid CAH. OBJECTIVE: We investigated three unrelated patients of Swiss ancestry who all carried novel mutations in the StAR gene. All three subjects were phenotypic females with...
