Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: 21-Hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is the most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a family of autosomal recessive disorders involving impaired cortisol synthesis. This study aimed to design a reliable and rational approach for identifying mutations in the CYP21A2 gene and to characterize the molecular basis of 21-OHD in 30 Chinese patients. DESIGN AND METHODS: Copy number variations...
