A common inherited disorder of steroidogenesis in man, 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficiency, is linked to theHLAmajor histocompatibility complex (MHC)1, and is associated in particular with certain allotypes of theHLA-linked complement proteins2,3. Recently, this disorder was demonstrated to result from a defective structural gene for the 21-OH enzyme, also termed cytochrome P-450C21(ref. 4). The human (HLA) and murine (H–2) MHCs are homologous in overall organization and in the structures of their component genes5. To determine whether21-OHgenes are located in theH–2complex, we have now used a bovine adrenal complementary DNA clone encoding part of 21-OH6to examine a cluster of overlapping cosmid clones derived from theSregion of the BALB/c mouse7. We found that there are two21-OHgenes in this region, located immediately 3′ to theC4andSlpgenes.
