Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, encoded by CYP21A2 gene, is an autosomal recessive disorder. The CYP21A2 gene, localized in a genetic unit defined RCCX module, is considered one of the most polymorphic of human genes. OBJECTIVES: We considered new evidences about the presence of a RCCX trimodular haplotype with a CYP21A2-like gene to explain the lack of a...
