Determination of functional effects of mutations in the steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21) using recombinant vaccinia virus.
1 Dec 1990
Abstract excerpt
Steroid 21-hydroxylase (P450c21) is absent or defective in more than 90% of patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. This disorder of cortisol biosynthesis occurs in a wide spectrum of clinical severity; specific mutations in the 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21) have been found in association with particular clinical phenotypes. To determine the functional effects of mutations causing amino acid substitutions,...
