Abstract excerpt
A method for genetic diagnosis of steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency was developed based on allele-specific PCR. With this approach, genotyping of fourteen mutations and diagnosis of homozygous gene deletions can be performed within hours from tissue sampling. One patient with salt-wasting disease had normal genotype at all positions screened. DNA sequencing revealed two novel mutations, a G to C transversion at...
