Abstract excerpt
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is the most frequent cause of adrenal insufficiency and ambiguous genitalia in newborn children. In contrast to CAH caused by 21 alpha-hydroxylase and 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiencies, which impairs steroid formation in the adrenal exclusively, 17 alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency impairs steroid biosynthesis in the adrenals and gonads. The sequence of CYP17 gene was...
