Homozygous Q258X mutation in the steroidogenic acute regulatory gene in a Japanese patient with congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia.

Abstract excerpt

Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired synthesis of all adrenal and gonadal steroid hormones. It has recently been reported that mutations in the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) gene cause CLAH. We analyzed the nucleotide sequences of exon 7 of the StAR gene in a Japanese CLAH patient with a karyotype of 47,XYY, and her parents. The...
