Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Steroid 17alpha-hydroxylase (CYP17A1, alias P450c17) deficiency (17OHD) is a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The CYP17A1 enzyme catalyzes two distinct reactions, 17alpha-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to analyze the structural and functional consequences of three novel (A174E, V178D, and L465P) and one previously reported (R440C) CYP17A1 mutation...
