Abstract

The steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is the most frequent cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. We have characterized the disease-causing mutations in the 21-hydroxylase genes of 63 patients with salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia from a Chilean population of Hispanic origin, a group that has been scarcely evaluated. Using allele-specific PCR, lesions were identified in 97 chromosomes out of 126 tested (77%). The most frequent findings were the gene deletion or large gene conversion (LGC) = 22.9%, I2 splice = 19%, R357W = 12.7%, and Q319X = 10.5%. We did not find alleles with the mutation F308insT and we found three alleles with the cluster E6. The frequency of the point mutation R357W was at least two times more frequent than the one found in Caucasians populations, but similar to that communicated in Asian populations; this finding may be explained by the Asian ancestry of our South-Amerindian population. The frequency of Q319X was also high, similar only to those patients studied in Italy and in a neighboring Argentinian population. In summary, this is a genetic characterization of 21OHD made in an almost pure Hispanic population in Latin America. The high frequency of deletion of CYP21B gene, I2 splice, R357W, and Q319X mutations probably reflects the European-Caucasian-Spanish influence of the conquerors, mixed with Amerindians of Asian ancestry and modulated by other European immigrations.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In most populations, targeted genotyping methods achieve a detection rate of approximately 90-95% of known pathogenic alleles.

    “In most populations, these methods achieve a detection rate of approximately 90-95% of known pathogenic alleles, providing a balance between analytical precision, efficiency and reproducibility, making it suitable for detecting recurrent CYP21A2 variants in diagnostic laboratories during the 1990s and early 2000s (27, 31, 47, 71, 72).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
