From Genomic Fossils to Functional Elements: The Evolving Story of Pseudogenes
This review begins with an introduction, summarizing the research background in pseudogene studies. It then contains three aspects: identification of pseudogenes, detailing their classification and features in metazoan genomes; functional pseudogenes, introducing their reactivation and regulation mechanisms; and pseudogenes’ contribution to species ...

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia in Adults [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting adrenal steroid synthesis. More than 95% of CAH cases are caused by reduced 21-hydroxylase function leading to variable extent of cortisol and aldosterone deficiency in ...

Germ cell and other tumors in individuals with differences in sex development
Abstract Approximately one in 3500 to one in 5100 live‐born infants have atypical external genital development, known as differences in sex development (DSD). In 2005, an expert consensus conference thoroughly reviewed aspects of health care for individuals with DSD.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) comprises a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive disorders impairing adrenal steroidogenesis. Most cases are caused by mutations in the CYP21A2 gene resulting in 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficiency (21-OHD).

ABSTRACT Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a genetic disorder characterized by impaired cortisol production and consequent elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH): CAH patients often require lifelong hydrocortisone therapy. Disease severity reflects residual 21‐hydroxylase enzyme activity, crucial for cortisol synthesis.

CYP21A2 gene mutationsin the women with recurrent miscarriage
Miscarriage is one of the major problems of modern reproduction. Total frequency of micarrieges is estimated as 15–27 % of total pregnancies. Recurrent Miscarriage (RM) (three or more spontaneous abortions) is responsible for almost 20 % of total miscarrieges. The population frequency of RM fluctuates from 2 % to 5 %.

Abstract Background Newborn screening (NBS) for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) based on hormonal testing is successfully implemented in many countries. However, this method cannot detect non-classic CAH and has high false positive rates. Methods This study aimed to develop a novel MALDI-TOF MS assay that can identify common variants and
