Abstract excerpt
Three beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta 5-delta 4-isomerase (3 beta HSD) deficiency is a form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia characterized by severe impairment of steroid biosynthesis in the adrenals and gonads. To better understand the molecular basis of the phenotypic heterogeneity found in 3 beta HSD deficiency, we analyzed the structure of type I and II 3 beta HSD genes in a female patient with...
