Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase (21OH) deficiency is an autosomal recessive inborn error of cortisol biosynthesis, with varying degrees of aldosterone production. There is a continuum of phenotypes which generally correlate with genotype and the expected residual 21OH activity of the less severely impaired allele. CYP21A1P/CYP21A2 chimeric genes caused by recombination...
