Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to a group of autosomal recessive disorders frequently caused by mutations in the steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21A2). We describe three novel CYP21A2 mutations in CAH patients. DESIGN AND METHODS: Sequence analysis of the entire CYP21A2 gene followed by molecular modelling was performed in three unrelated classical CAH patients of northeastern Iranian...
