Abstract excerpt
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations. It is most often caused by deficiency of steroid 21-hydroxylase, reflecting any of a wide range of mutations in the 21-hydroxylase (CYP21) gene. A major challenge in molecular diagnostics of CAH is the high homology between the CYP21 gene and the CYP21P pseudogene and the phenomenon of apparent...
