Abstract excerpt
The adrenal 11 beta-hydroxylase is a mitochondrial P450 enzyme encoded by the CYP11B1 gene, which is situated on chromosome 8q22 in tandem with the gene for aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2). Deficiency of 11 beta-hydroxylase results in the inability to convert 11-deoxycortisol to cortisol and accounts for 5-8% of cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. In the following study the CYP11B1 genes from eight...
