Abstract excerpt
We identified a new homozygous missense mutation His373-->Leu in the CYP17 gene of two sisters with 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency with an elevated plasma aldosterone concentration by sequencing their genomic DNAs amplified by polymerase chain reaction. Using polymerase chain reaction-based site-directed mutagenesis, we prepared a DNA that encoded the Leu373 mutant protein. COS-1 cells transfected with the...
