Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Aldosterone synthase deficiency (ASD) is an important differential diagnosis of diseases associated with salt wasting in early infancy. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the molecular basis for the disorder by (1) molecular genetic analysis in the CYP11B2 from patients suffering from ASD type I. (2) Functional characterization of the missense mutant gene products. (3) Structural...
