Three Cases of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Owing to Multiple Mutations of CYP21 Gene
Abstract
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH) results from an inherited defect in enzymatic steps required to synthesize cortisol from cholesterol. 21-hydroxylase deficiency accounts for 95% cases of CAH. We have analyzed CYP21 genes of CAH by PCR direct sequencing. Our results shows three cases of CAH owing to multiple mutations of CYP21 gene; first case, IVS2AS, A/G, -13, Ile172Asn; second case, IVS2AS, A/G, -13, Ile236Asn, Val237Glu, Met239Lys; third case, Ile172Asn, C to G at 1590nt, Val281Leu, Arg484Pro, G to A at 2697nt. Mutations such as Ile236Asn, Val237Glu, Met239Lys, and Arg484Pro are first noted in Korea.
