Point mutations in Italian patients with classic, non-classic, and cryptic forms of steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

Seventy-three Italian patients affected by steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency were studied by a PCR-allele-specific oligonucleotide protocol in order to evaluate the presence of eight known point mutations. The majority of chromosomes were found to carry point gene conversions normally present in the pseudogene. Within the classic form, the most common mutations were the splicing mutation A/C-655 to G in intron 2...
