Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The high homology between the CYP21A2 (cytochrome P450, family 21, subfamily A, polypeptide 2) and CYP21A1P (cytochrome P450, family 21, subfamily A, polypeptide 1 pseudogene) genes is the major obstacle to risk-free genetic diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, especially regarding the quantification of gene dosage. Because of the lack of a comprehensive study providing useful information...
