Human genetics - 1 Apr 1993
Wedell A, Luthman H
Abstract excerpt
Lesions in the gene encoding the adrenal enzyme steroid 21-hydroxylase (P450c21) result in defective adrenal cortisol synthesis, often accompanied by aldosterone deficiency. The symptoms range from severe neonatal disease to inconspicuous symptoms in adulthood depending on the nature of the mutations. The 21-hydroxylase gene is present in close proximity to a highly homologous pseudogene, and both genes show...
