Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a common autosomal recessive disease with a wide range of clinical manifestation. In 90-95% of the cases it is caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency (OMIM #201910) due to mutations of the CYP21 gene (GDB Accession #M12792). In most cases the CYP21-inactivating p

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a heterogeneous disorder representing the congenital forms of retinitis pigmentosa accounting for about 5% of all retinal dystrophies.

Defects in the enzyme, steroid 21-hydroxylase, result in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a common autosomal recessive disorder of cortisol biosynthesis. The gene encoding this protein (CYP21B) and a closely linked pseudogene (CYP21A) have been mapped in the HLA complex on chromosome 6p, adjace
