Abstract excerpt
The molecular basis of isolated 17,20-lyase deficiency was clarified in a newborn male patient from Israel with micropenis, undescended testes, and hormonal pattern consistent with isolated 17,20-lyase deficiency. Analysis of the CYP17 gene revealed the presence of a compound heterozygosity. One allele carries a single base pair deletion (T at position 198 in exon 1) leading to a frame shift with the introduction...
