Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding steroid 21-hydroxylase activity, P450c21B, is located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region, in close proximity to a highly homologous pseudogene, P450c21A. Recombinations between P450c21B and P450c21A have been shown to result in deficiency of 21-hydroxylase activity, the usual cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). A mutant P450c21 gene from a patient with...
