13. Gene conversion-like events cause steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency in congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Genomic DNAs from twelve Japanese patients with steroid 21-hydroxylase [21-OHase; steroid 21-monooxygenase; steroid, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (21-hydroxylating); EC 1.14.99.10] deficiency were analyzed by Southern blot hybridization. A 3.7-kilobase (kb) Taq I and a 1.7-kb Pvu II restriction endonuclease fragment that correspond to a 21-OHase B ge

14. Structure of human steroid 21-hydroxylase genes.
We have determined the structure of cDNA and two genomic genes encoding steroid 21-hydroxylase [21-OHase; steroid 21-monooxygenase; steroid, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (21-hydroxylating); EC 1.14.99.10]. If this cytochrome P-450 enzyme is defective, cortisol cannot be synthesized, resulting in congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The cDNA encoding this

15. p450XXI (steroid 21-hydroxylase) gene deletions are not found in family studies of congenital adrenal hyperplasia

16. The orphan nuclear receptor NGFI-B regulates expression of the gene encoding steroid 21-hydroxylase.
As part of its trophic action to maintain the steroidogenic capacity of adrenocortical cells, corticotropin (ACTH) increases the transcription of the cytochrome P-450 steroid hydroxylase genes, including the gene encoding steroid 21-hydroxylase (21-OHase). We previously identified several promoter elements that regulate 21-OHase gene expression in mouse Y1 a

17. Gene conversions and unequal crossovers between CYP21 (steroid 21-hydroxylase gene) and CYP21P involve different mechanisms.
Most cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, the inherited inability to synthesize cortisol, are caused by mutations in the steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21). Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is unusual among genetic diseases in that approximately 95% of the mutant alleles have apparently been generated by recombination between a normally active gene (CY

18. Molecular characterization of the HLA-linked steroid 21-hydroxylase B gene from an individual with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
21-Hydroxylase deficiency which causes congenital adrenal hyperplasia is one of the most common defects of adrenal steroidogenesis. There are two 21-hydroxylase genes in man, A and B, and these have been mapped to the HLA class III region. Only the 21-hydroxylase B gene is thought to be active. To understand the molecular basis of congenital adrenal hyperpla

19. Prenatal diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia: reliability of amniotic fluid steroid analysis.
The concentration of 170H-progesterone was measured in amniotic fluid samples collected from 55 mothers who had previously had a child with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. In eight pregnancies the levels of 170H-progesterone were raised; the parents elected to terminate in four and examinations of the fetus confirmed the diag

20. Characterization of the steroid-metabolizing capacity of the hepatic cytochrome P450IIC5 expressed in COS-1 cells: 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/delta 5----4 isomerase type activity.
Cytochrome P450IIC5 (rabbit liver 21-hydroxylase) is unusual among hepatic forms of cytochromes P450 because it catalyzes the conversion of one active steroid hormone (progesterone) to another active hormone (deoxycorticosterone). Another interesting aspect of this steroid-hydroxylating enzyme is the ability to convert delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroids to the d

21. Mutations of P450c21 (steroid 21-hydroxylase) at Cys428, Val281, and Ser268 result in complete, partial, or no loss of enzymatic activity, respectively.
Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the major cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a common genetic disease. To define the relationship between gene mutations and enzyme deficiency, we generated missense mutations of the 21-hydroxylase cDNA at three different sites and characterized the mutant proteins after expressing them in cultured mammalian a

22. Nucleotide sequence analysis of murine 21-hydroxylase genes: mutations affecting gene expression.
Steroid 21-hydroxylase [21-OHase; steroid 21-monooxygenase; steroid, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (21-hydroxylating); EC 1.14.99.10] is a cytochrome P-450 enzyme required for the adrenal synthesis of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. The gene encoding this protein is present in two copies (21-OHase A and B) in the S region of the murine major h

23. Deoxycorticosterone biosynthesis in human kidney: potential for formation of a potent mineralocorticosteroid in its site of action.
The extra-adrenal formation of deoxycorticosterone (DOC) from plasma progesterone has been demonstrated in humans. In those studies it was shown that in some persons the volume of plasma cleared of progesterone by DOC formation was great, namely, 75 liter/24 hr. Because steroid 231-hydroxylase activity [steroid 21-monooxygenase; steroid, hydrogen-donor:oxyge

24. Mutation in the CYP21B gene (Ile-172----Asn) causes steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It results from a deficiency in a specific cytochrome P450, P450c21 (P450XXIA). The gene encoding this protein (CYP21B) and a closely linked pseudogene (CYP21A) are located in the HLA complex on chromosome 6p. Many mutant alleles are associated with deletions of CYP
