C4 and 21-hydroxylase gene deletions in nasopharyngeal carcinoma among the Chinese. 1996

M Lim, and S H Chan
Department of Microbiology, National University of Singapore, Singapore.

Deletions around the C4 and 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) gene region occur among the Chinese, and C4B together with 21-OHA deletion is the most common. This deletion was found to be strongly associated with human leucocyte antigen (HLA) B58 DRB1*0301, particularly with DRB1*0301. The initial observation of a high frequency of this deletion in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) was secondary to the B58 DR3 association with NPC. A deletion of 21-OHA alone was observed to be associated with HLA B13 DRB1*1501.

D013255 Steroid 21-Hydroxylase An adrenal microsomal cytochrome P450 enzyme that catalyzes the 21-hydroxylation of steroids in the presence of molecular oxygen and NADPH-FERRIHEMOPROTEIN REDUCTASE. This enzyme, encoded by CYP21 gene, converts progesterones to precursors of adrenal steroid hormones (CORTICOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE). Defects in CYP21 cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia (ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA, CONGENITAL).

D017353 Gene Deletion A genetic rearrangement through loss of segments of DNA or RNA, bringing sequences which are normally separated into close proximity. This deletion may be detected using cytogenetic techniques and can also be inferred from the phenotype, indicating a deletion at one specific locus. Deletion, Gene,Deletions, Gene,Gene Deletions
