Abstract excerpt
The steroid 21-hydroxylase enzyme (P450c21) is a member of the cytochrome P450 gene superfamily and is essential in the synthesis of cortisol and aldosterone. Defects in the P450c21B gene cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a common genetic disorder leading to virilization of newborn females. To avoid the standard cloning of mutant P450c21 genes from genomic libraries, we amplified the full-length genomic...
