Abstract excerpt
Polymorphic genetic variation shows that the genes for human 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (3 beta-HSD) types I and II are closely linked. The type II mutations A82T, S100N and L173R are associated with male pseudohermaphroditism and A82T is associated, with variable penetrance, with female premature puberty. When expressed in vitro A82T showed less than 5% of normal activity and L173R showed a 30-50%...
