Molecular Diagnosis of Steroid 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency: A Practical Approach

Molecular Diagnosis of Steroid 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency: A Practical Approach

Adrenal insufficiency in paediatric patients is mostly due to congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a severe monogenic disease caused by steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD, encoded by the CYP21A2 gene) in 95% of cases. CYP21A2 genotyping requires careful analyses that guaranty gene-specific P...
