Predicting Phenotype in Steroid 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency? Comprehensive Genotyping in 155 Unrelated, Well Defined Patients from Southern Germany
2000-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders. CAH is most often caused by deficiency of steroid 21-hydroxylase. The frequency of CYP21-inactivating mutations and the genotype-phenotype relationship were characterized in 155 well defined unrelated CAH patients. We were able to elucidate 306 of 310 disease-causing alleles (diagnostic sensitivity, 98.7%). The most frequent mutation...
