Abstract excerpt
We report studies of two unrelated Japanese patients with 17alpha-hydroxylase deficiency caused by mutations of the 17alpha-hydroxylase (CYP17) gene. We amplified all eight exons of the CYP17 gene, including the exon-intron boundaries, by the polymerase chain reaction and determined their nucleotide sequences. Patient 1 had novel, compound heterozygous mutations of the CYP17 gene. One mutant allele had a guanine...
