Abstract excerpt
X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and adrenal insufficiency is a rare disorder caused by mutations of DAX-1. In this study, we investigated the functional defects of DAX-1 caused by mutations identified in 3 unrelated Korean patients with adrenal hypoplasia congenita. The DAX-1 gene was directly sequenced using genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes. The...
