Abstract excerpt
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a common recessive genetic disease caused mainly by steroid 21-hydroxylase (P450c21) deficiency. Many forms of CAH exist resulting from various mutations of the CYP21B gene. We sequenced CYP21B cDNA from a normal person and its genes from a patient with simple virilizing CAH. When comparing several CYP21B sequences, we found it was polymorphic. In the patient, a single base...
