Abstract excerpt
The DAX-1 [DSS (dosage-sensitive sex)-AHC critical region in the X, gene 1] gene has been reported to be responsible for X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. However, the function and structure of the DAX-1 protein have not been characterized. In this study, molecular analysis of the DAX-1 gene from 6 patients with AHC, including 2 siblings, identified 5 novel mutations...
