Variations in the 3′UTR of the CYP21A2 Gene in Heterozygous Females with Hyperandrogenaemia

Table 1

Phenotype-genotype correlation of the 66 females with CYP21A2 heterozygote mutations. The hormonal analyses for 17-OHP were performed in 52 patients. Two of the patients with p.Val281Leu/X had stimulated 17-OHP levels more than 60.5 nmol/l viewing the possibility of an additional unidentified mutation and were excluded from the statistical evaluation.
