Abstract excerpt
To investigate the genetic polymorphisms of the HLA region and the molecular defect of the P450c21B gene in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, we studied 89 individuals from 25 families of CAH patients (14 classical forms, 11 non-classical forms). The following immunogenetic and hormonal investigations were performed: HLA-A and B typing, restriction fragment length polymorphism...
