Abstract
We have defined the mutations causing congenital adrenal hyperplasia in three Swedish patients carrying a rare haplotype containing two mutated steroid 21-hydroxylase genes (CYP21) in addition to one pseudogene (CYP21P). The presence of such haplotypes complicates genetic diagnosis and screening of mutations in 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and we show how these genotypes can be resolved by amplification and analysis of each gene separately. In all cases, the rare haplotype carried the same combination of disease-causing mutations; one of the genes had the splice mutation at base 659 in intron 2, and the other had the nonsense mutation at base 1999 in exon 8 (CAG to TAG). We have thus characterized the most common haplotype containing duplicated CYP21 genes. The frequency of this haplotype is low, and if additional such haplotypes are present, they are rare in this population.Keywords
