Chimeric types were assigned according to Chen et al.8

Nomenclature at the protein level is based on conventional codon numbering. Nomenclature at the cDNA level, based on ENST00000418967, is as follows: P30L (c.92C>T), In2G (c.293-13A/C>G), G110fsX21 (c.332_339del), I172N (c.518T>A), D183E (c.552C>G), D234D (c.705T>C), E6cluster [I236N (c.710T>A), V237E (c.713T>A), M239K (c.719T>A)], V281L (c.844G>T), L307fx15 (c.923_924insT), Q318X (c.955C>T), and R356W (c.1069C>T); 21-OHD, 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
