Abstract excerpt
The enzyme 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta 5-delta 4-isomerase (3 beta-HSD) catalyses an essential step in the biosynthesis of all steroid hormones. Consequently, classical 3 beta-HSD deficiency is responsible for a severe form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The HSD3B1 and HSD3B2 genes encoding the types I and II 3 beta-HSD isoenzymes, respectively, have been previously assigned by in situ...
