Clinical and Functional Effects of Mutations in the DAX-1 Gene in Patients with Adrenal Hypoplasia Congenita
1999-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) is an X-linked disorder caused by mutations in a gene referred to as DAX-1. AHC is characterized by adrenal insufficiency and failure to undergo puberty because of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. The DAX-1 protein is structurally related to orphan nuclear receptors, although it lacks the characteristic zinc finger DNA-binding domain that is highly conserved in other members of thi...
