Comprehensive Genetic Testing of CYP21A2: A Retrospective Analysis in Patients with Suspected Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia [PDF]
The most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) results from a deficiency of the 21-hydroxylase enzyme (21-OHD), presenting with a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes according to the CYP21A2 gene mutations. Of the 59 patients with suspected CAH, 62.7% presented a positive genetic result.

Novel variants of CYP21A2 in Vietnamese patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundCongenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) (OMIM #201910) is a complex disease most often caused by pathogenic variant of the CYP21A2 gene. We have designed an efficient multistep approach to diagnose and classify CAH cases due to CYP21A2 variant and to study the genotype‐phenotype relationship.MethodsA large cohort of 212 Vietnamese ...

Objective: CYP21A2 mutation heterozygote carriers seem to have an increased risk of hyperandrogenism. However, the clinical relevance of the heterozygote carrier status and the reliability of hormonal testing in discriminating a carrier from a non ...

High frequency of copy number variations and sequence variants at CYP21A2 locus: implication for the genetic diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency. [PDF]
The systematic study of the human genome indicates that the inter-individual variability is greater than expected and it is not only related to sequence polymorphisms but also to gene copy number variants (CNVs).

Molecular genetic analysis of CYP21A2 gene in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Context: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is one of the inborn errors of metabolic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive manner caused by the defects in the steroid 21 hydroxylase CYP21A2 gene.

Genetics of 21-OH Deficiency and Genotype–Phenotype Correlation: Experience of the Hellenic National Referral Center [PDF]
21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) represents the most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to CYP21A2 gene pathogenic variants. Τhe aim of this study was the identification of CYP21A2 variants in 500 subjects of Greek origin with a ...

CONTEXT 21-Hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is caused by pathogenic variants in CYP21A2. High homology between CYP21A2 and its pseudogene CYP21A1P causes mismatches, leading to deletions and CYP21A1P/CYP21A2 chimeras.
