Abstract excerpt
We studied 95 patients and their relatives with the classical salt wasting (SW) and simple virilizing (SV) form of CAH. SSCP/heteroduplex analysis allowed fast and efficient screening for the most common 21-hydroxylase mutations (e.g. deletions, splice site mutation in intron 2 (bp 656), Ile172Asn mutation in exon 4) and determination of the relative intensities of CYP21A and CYP21B genes. The splice site...
