Abstract excerpt
We have defined the mutations causing congenital adrenal hyperplasia in three Swedish patients carrying a rare haplotype containing two mutated steroid 21-hydroxylase genes (CYP21) in addition to one pseudogene (CYP21P). The presence of such haplotypes complicates genetic diagnosis and screening of mutations in 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and we show how these genotypes can be resolved by amplification and...
