Aldosterone deficiency II (CMO II deficiency) is not the result of a mutation of an MspI restriction site within the CYP11B gene

Hum Genet. 1991 May;87(1):97-8. doi: 10.1007/BF01213103.

Abstract

We report our investigations of a German family with aldosterone deficiency (CMO II deficiency). Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis using a P450c11 probe demonstrates that a MspI restriction site mutation within the CYP11B gene cannot be the underlying cause for this defect, as has been suggested previously.
