[Characterization of new splicing mutation in steroid 21-hydroxylase gene].

Novel mutation in CYP21A2 gene causing the steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency - C to G substitution in 7-position ofintron 2 acceptor splice site (c.290-7C>G) was identified. The effect of the mutation on splicing was checked in the system of CYP21A minigene expression in the cultured mammalian cells.
