Mutations of the CYP21 gene in nonclassical steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency in Japan.

Abstract excerpt

To determine whether nonclassical steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency in Japan has the same molecular basis as in western countries, we have characterized the mutations of the CYP21 gene in 7 Japanese patients with nonclassical (NC) steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency. In the Japanese NC cases the P30L was present in one allele in 5 of the 7 patients and on both alleles in one patient. By contrast, the V281L...
