Pro-453 to Ser mutation in CYP21 is associated with nonclassic steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency

Abstract

Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the leading cause of impaired cortisol synthesis in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), with the nonclassic form (NC) comprising approximately 1% of the Caucasian population. The structure of the CYP21 gene was studied in 13 unrelated NC-CAH patients, three affected siblings, and 55 blood donors using polymerase chain reaction. In addition to the Leu-281 and Leu-30 mutations previously associated with NC-CAH, the finding of a Pro-453 to Ser mutation in exon-10 of CYP21 in the NC-CAH patients is reported. Ser-453 was found in 46.2% of unrelated NC-CAH patients, but only 7.7% and 3.6% of salt-wasting CAH patients and blood donors, respectively. In contrast to the Leu-281 and Leu-30 mutations, Ser-453 has not been previously detected in the CYP21 pseudogene (CYP21P) and, therefore, has not likely arisen by gene conversion.

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.
