Using genomic restriction analysis of 14 unrelated patients with salt-losing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, we identified three different CA21HB mutation patterns: no detectable restriction fragment abnormalities (16/28 haplotypes), deletion of the active CA21HB gene (9/28), and apparent conversion of the active CA21HB gene to the pseudogene CA21HA (3/28). CA21HB gene deletion was associated with HLA-Bw47 in 6 haplotypes and with absent C4B expression in 7. A variety of HLA and C4 types was associated with the other mutations. Apparent conversion of CA21HB to CA21HA was identified by the disparity between the intensity ratios for the major TaqI and BglII hybridization fragments.

Genetic mapping of the 21-hydroxylase locus: estimation of small recombination frequencies.
Am J Hum Genet
September 1988

The locus for 21-hydroxylase (CA21HB) has been mapped to the interval between the HLA-B and HLA-DR loci on chromosome 6. Several methods of estimating genetic distance were used to determine whether CA21HB is closer to HLA-B or HLA-DR based on data collected on 157 families ascertained through a proband with the classical form of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (CA12Hd). The results were inconclusive but serve to highlight the limitations of present methods of estimating genetic distance when recombination frequencies are of the order of .

The two genes encoding the fourth component of complement (C4A and C4B) reside between HLA-B and HLA-DR on human chromosome 6. Two kilobases downstream from each C4 gene lies a 21-hydroxylase gene (CA21HA and CA21HB, respectively). Utilizing the method of Southern blotting and a 5'-end 2.

HLA-Bw47, a rare human histocompatibility antigen, occurs in strong linkage disequilibrium with HLA-A3,Cw6,DR7 and salt-losing congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and is associated with a contiguous deletion of the active CA21HB gene and the C4B complement gene. We studied the HLA-A3,Cw6,Bw47,DR7 haplotype in 10 subjects of the Old Order Amish of Lancaster County in Pennsylvania and found that this haplotype, which occurs with a similar frequency in this group as in the general caucasoid population, has C4B and Ca21HB genes. These C4B and CA21HB genes are expressed as assessed by C4 typing and iv ACTH testing, respectively.
