Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Approximately 10% of patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency carry a mutation that disrupts CYP21A2 and the flanking TNXB gene resulting in CAH-X, a contiguous gene deletion syndrome. TNXB encodes tenascin-X (TNX), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that plays an important role in collagen organization. TNXB impairment is associated with Ehlers-Danlos...
