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
The steroid 21-hydroxylase enzyme (P450c21) is a member of the cytochrome P450 gene superfamily and is essential in the synthesis of cortisol and aldosterone. Defects in the P450c21B gene cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a common genetic disorder leading to virilization of newborn females
