Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease of an inborn error of steroid metabolism in humans. More than 90% of CAH cases are caused by mutations of the steroid 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) gene, and approximately 75% of the defective CYP21A2 genes are generated through an intergenic recombination with the neighboring CYP21A1P pseudogene. METHODS: A high-resolution melting...
