Abstract excerpt
Steroid 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency (11 beta OHD), an autosomal recessive hereditary disease, accounts for 5-8% of cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. In this study, we carried out a molecular genetic analysis of CYP11B1 encoding steroid 11 beta-hydroxylase (P450c11) from a Japanese patient affected with this disease. Nucleotide sequence analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified products of the...
