Abstract excerpt
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) occurs worldwide. The most common mutations in the CYP21A2 gene in 716 unrelated patients were analyzed and the mutations were grouped by ethnicity, as defined through self-declaration corroborated by review of pedigrees extending to two or three generations. Prevalent allelic mutations and genotypes were found to vary significantly...
