Abstract excerpt
This report describes the identification of a point mutation in the 5 alpha-reductase type 2 (5 alpha-SR2) gene from a family in which both sibs (6 and 3 years old) have steroid 5 alpha-reductase 2 deficiency. The five exons of the gene were individually amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and analysed for single-strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCP) to detect mutations. Direct sequencing of the...
