Abstract excerpt
The DAX-1 [DSS (dosage sensitive sex)-AHC critical region on the X, gene 1] gene is responsible for X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC). However, DAX-1 protein structure-function relationships are not well understood. Identification of missense mutations may help to reveal these relationships. We analyzed the DAX-1 gene from seven patients in six kindreds with X-linked AHC and identified one frameshift...
