Abstract excerpt
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a syndrome of adrenal steroid metabolism errors with an autosomal inheritance model. The most common metabolic defect is 21-hydroxylase deficiency. It has been demonstrated that 21-hydroxylase genes are in close association with HLA antigens. I HLA antigens were typed in a group of 32 families of children with CAH-type 21-hydroxylase deficiency with salt loss. The antigen...
