Mutations in the CYP21 B gene in a Chilean population with simple virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Abstract:

:Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) compromises about 95% of all cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. We have characterized the disease-causing mutations in the steroid 21-hydroxylase genes of 19 Chilean patients (12 females and 7 males) with the simple virilizing (SV) form of 21OHD and compared them with other SV-populations. Using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction, we identified lesions in 28 chromosomes out of 38 tested (73.7%). The most frequent finding was the mutation I173N=12/38 (31.6%) similar as described in Caucasian, Asian and other Hispanic populations, where this mutation represents around 20-40% of the genetic defects in the CYP21B gene. The mutation V282L=4/38 (10.5%) and deletion (Del) or large gene conversion (LGC)=3/38 (7.9%) were also frequently detected. Only 2 alleles carried the mutation I2 splice (5.3%), this frequency is lower than that reported in Caucasian or in Mexican populations. We did not find alleles with the mutations R357W, Cluster E6, P31L and P454S in these patients. The complete genotype was determined in 11/19 patients (58%) and one allele in 6/19 patients (31.6%). In summary, about 30% of the Chilean population with SV 21OHD presented the missense mutation I173N as described in other populations. The frequency of the other lesions showed differences even between populations with similar genetic background.
