Abstract excerpt
The biochemical and physiologic manifestations of decreased 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in females are characterized. Three females from the large Dominican kindred with 5 alpha-reductase-2 deficiency were identified as homozygous for a point mutation (R246W, C-->T) on exon 5 of the 5 alpha-reductase-2 gene by single strand DNA conformational polymorphism analysis and DNA sequence analysis. Body hair was...
