Abstract excerpt
Mutation analysis in the family of a child with 21-hydroxylase deficiency showed that the father and affected child were homozygous for a mutation, A/C655G, believed to activate a cryptic splice site in intron 2 of the 21-hydroxylase gene. The father, who was clinically asymptomatic, showed no bi...
