Abstract excerpt
We have characterized the disease-causing mutations in the steroid 21-hydroxylase genes of 127 patients with different clinical forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, representing 186 unrelated chromosomes. The gene was completely absent on 29.8% of the chromosomes, and this together with the I2 splice (27.7%), I173N (20.8%), V282L (5.4%), and R357W (3.8%) mutations constitute 87.5% of all affected chromosomes....
