Identification and functional characterization of compound heterozygous CYP11B1 gene mutations.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: 11β-Hydroxylase deficiency (11β-OHD) is the second leading cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the CYP11B1 gene. We previously reported the case of a male Chinese patient with typical 11β-OHD symptoms. Sanger sequencing revealed that the patient carried a splice-site mutation, c.595+1G>A in the CYP11B1 gene. His mother and sister...
