CYP17 encodes the enzyme cytochrome P-450c17␣, which mediates both 17␣-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase in the steroid biosynthesis pathway. A polymorphism in the 5 promoter region of the CYP17 gene has been described. Steroid hormones, especially androgens, are believed to play a key role in the etiolog
