The effect of fetal androgen metabolism-related gene variants on external genitalia virilization in congenital adrenal hyperplasia
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-11-01)The 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is caused by CYP21A2 mutations resulting in severe or moderate enzymatic impairments. 21OHD females carrying similar genotypes present different degrees of external genitalia virilization, ...
