Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a disease characterized by an enlarged adrenal gland, aldosterone and cortisol deficiency, and excess testosterone production. In humans, congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs at a frequency of 41 in 5000 births, and is one of the most common inborn errors of metabolism. This disease results from a deficiency in one of the enzymes involved in steroidogenesis. Approximately 95% of the affected cases have been reported to be due to a defect only in the P-450(C21) gene coding for the enzyme 21 hydroxylase (Higashi et al. 1986). Higashi et al. (1986) found that three critical mutations were found in one of the two genes coding for 21-hydroxylase to render the gene nonfunctional. The following is a partial DNA sequence from one of the 21-hydroxylase genes where one of the three most common mutations occurs. For the following piece of normal DNA from the 21-hydroxylase gene, fill in the corresponding mRNA codons, and amino acids, and then do the same for the mutatec sequence below it. See Fig. 4-17 in Silverthorn for the genetic code. normal DNA sequence CTC

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a disease characterized by an enlarged adrenal gland,
aldosterone and cortisol deficiency, and excess testosterone production. In humans,
congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs at a frequency of 41 in 5000 births, and is one of the
most common inborn errors of metabolism. This disease results from a deficiency in one of
the enzymes involved in steroidogenesis. Approximately 95% of the affected cases have
been reported to be due to a defect only in the P-450(C21) gene coding for the enzyme 21
hydroxylase (Higashi et al. 1986).
Higashi et al. (1986) found that three critical mutations were found in one of the two genes
coding for 21-hydroxylase to render the gene nonfunctional. The following is a partial DNA
sequence from one of the 21-hydroxylase genes where one of the three most common
mutations occurs. For the following piece of normal DNA from the 21-hydroxylase gene, fill
in the corresponding mRNA codons, and amino acids, and then do the same for the mutated
sequence below it. See Fig. 4-17 in Silverthorn for the genetic code.
