| Abstract | We report studies of two unrelated Japanese patients with 17α-hydroxylase deficiency caused by mutations of the 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17) gene. We amplified all eight exons of the CYP17 gene, including the exon-intron boundaries, by the polymerase chain reaction and determined their nucleotide sequences. Patient 1 had novel, compound heterozygous mutations of the CYP17 gene. One mutant allele had a guanine to thymine transversion at position +5 in the splice donor site of intron 2. This splice-site mutation caused exon 2 skipping, as shown by in vitro minigene expression analysis of an allelic construct, resulting in a frameshift and introducing a premature stop codon (TAG) 60 bp downstream from the exon 1-3 boundary. The other allele had a missense mutation of His (CAC) to Leu (CTC) at codon 373 in exon 6. These two mutations abolished the 17α-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis with a mismatch oligonucleotide showed that the patient’s mother and brother carried the splice-site mutation, but not the missense mutation. Patient 2 was homozygous for a novel 1-bp deletion (cytosine) at codon 131 in exon 2. This 1-bp deletion produces a frameshift in translation and introduces a premature stop codon (TAG) proximal to the highly conserved heme iron-binding cysteine at codon 442 in microsomal cytochrome P450 steroid 17α-hydroxylase (P450c17). RFLP analysis showed that the mother was heterozygous for the mutation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
