Abstract excerpt
Steroid 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency is caused by defects in cytochrome P450c17, the single enzyme that has 17-alpha hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities. We describe a rapid and efficient polymerase chain reaction tactic for identifying these genetic lesions and identify Ser106----Pro as the cause of 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency in two unrelated homozygous patients from Guam. We used site-directed...
