Abstract excerpt
X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) is an inherited disorder of the development of the adrenal cortex. The gene responsible for this genetic disorder has been identified using positional cloning methods and has been named DAX-1 based on its localization within the dosage-sensitive sex reversal (DSS) locus and the AHC locus on the X chromosome. The DAX-1 gene consists of two exons separated by a 3.4 kb...
