UNLABELLED: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders mainly due to defects in the steroid 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) gene. METHODS: To determine the mutational spectrum in the Turkish population, the CYP21A2 active gene was analyzed in 100 unrelated patients with the classical form of 21-hydroxylase deficiency using PCR and RFLP. RESULTS: Mutations were detected in 78...
