Abstract

This book demonstrates that each steroid disorder causing both clinical and biochemical abnormalities in patients now has a genetic basis. The genes for each step in steroidogenesis have been mapped and cloned, and the mutations in the gene causing the disorder have been described. In addition, the structural biology of the protein resulting from the mutation in the gene has been reported for many of the disorders.
