Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDS: Recently, we have considered two new findings in genetics of 21-hydroxylase deficiency with great interested: the existence of rare RCCX trimodular haplotypes, where the CYP21A2 like-gene downstream of the TNXA gene carries from one to six pseudogene mutations, and population specific allelic frequencies of wild-type CYP21A2 loci in the CYP21A1P pseudogene. Both these events represent a further...
