17α-hydroxylase/17, 20-lyase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder, which causes mineralcorticoid hypertension. Here we report two Japanese siblings, male and female, affected by 17α- hydrOxylase/17, 20-lyase deficiency. To clarify the molecular mechanism of the enzyme deficiency, we isolated the gene encoding 17α-hydroxylase/17, 20-lyase (CYP17) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from these patients, and compared its nucleotide sequences with those of normal CYP17. We confirmed only… CONTINUE READING
