Abstract excerpt
An update on the molecular genetics of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is given. In Sweden, direct mutation detection has been used for genetic diagnosis of this disease since 1990. Around 400 affected 21-hydroxylase genes have been analyzed so far. Mutations that have arisen by interaction with the adjacent pseudogene, including gene deletion and nine smaller sequence aberrations,...
