No = number; ND = not determined; D = determined; S-M = sensori-motor; pnp = peripheral neuropathy;

a = mutations on both alleles of the CYP 27 gene in all 10 patients (Table 1 of [15])

b = mutations 1016C > T (T339M) and 1183C > T (R395C) in the CYP21A2 gene

c = mutations 379C > T (R94W) and 1420 C > T (R441W) in the CYP27A1 gene
