| Abstract | Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is one of the most widespread severe autosomal recessive hereditary diseases. CAH is caused by the impaired biosynthesis of the key human hormones cortisol and aldosterone and is accompanied by the excess synthesis of androgens. Over 90% of CAH cases are caused by a deficiency of the steroid 21-hydrohylase (P450c21). The degree of damage in this enzyme is responsible for the severity of the clinical manifestation of CAH from potentially lethal to mild symptoms. Various mutations of the gene encoding this enzyme are the main source of the reduced activity of the steroid-21-hydrolase. The location of the highly homological pseudogene CYP21P in close proximity to the functional gene impedes the DNA diagnostics of CAH. To detect the eight most frequent CYP21 gene mutations associated with CAH, we developed a new real-time PCR-based system of DNA diagnostics using new allele-specific primers and TaqMan probes for the analyzed mutations. The method was primarily tested on artificial DNA templates, where the analyzed mutations were introduced by site-directed mutagenesis. Then, it was tested on DNA samples from 43 patients with clinical and biochemical manifestations of CAH; seven patients were used as a control. Two mutant alleles were detected in two different individuals: the nonsense Q318X and the missense V281L mutations. |

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.
