Abstract excerpt
More than 90% of all cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) result from steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21A2) mutations. The CYP21A2 gene is located in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class III region on the short arm of chromosome 6p21.3, along with an inactive pseudogene, CYP21A1P, that is 98% homologous in its coding sequence with CYP21A2. Most CYP21A2 mutations result from intergenic recombinations...
