The 6 novel variants detected were: p.M1I, p.V129M, p.R141Q, p.A165T, p.R448C, and the donor splice site variant of intron 8, c.1398 + 1G &amp;gt; A.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Molecular diagnosis was achieved in 62 patients with aldosterone synthase deficiency, the largest cohort thus far reported.
