Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Steroid 11β-hydroxylase is encoded by two homologous genes, CYP11B1 and CYP11B2, located on chromosome 8q21–22. CYP11B1 encodes a specific cytochrome P -450 ( P -450c11) necessary for cortisol biosynthesis, with predominantly 11β-hydroxylase and moderate 18-hydroxylase activity, whereas CYP11B2 encodes another isozyme ( P -450cmo) necessary for aldosterone biosynthesis, with 11β-hydroxylase, 18-hydroxylase and 18-oxidase activities (the latter two termed corticosterone methyl-oxidase I and II; CMO-I and II, respectively). Two steroid biosynthetic defects, both relatively frequent in Israel, are caused by specific mutations in each of these genes. 11β-Hydroxylase deficiency is frequent among Jews from Morocco (1 in 5000 to 7000 births), and is characterized by virilization, hypertension, impaired cortisol biosynthesis, and increased deoxycorticosterone and androgens. Affected individuals have a single base substitution in exon 8 of CYP11B1, codon 448, from CGC (arginine) to CAC (histidine). This sequence, normally absent in CYP11B2, constitutes a true point mutation within the heme binding domain of CYP11B1 that results in marked impairment of enzymatic activity. The clinical expression is characterized by a wide range of variability in the signs of both androgen and mineralocorticoid excess, even though an identical mutation was found in all but one of the affected alleles examined. CMO-II deficiency is frequent among Jews from Iran (1 in 4000 births), and is characterized by a typical salt-wasting syndrome, increased 18-hydroxycorticosterone, impaired aldosterone biosynthesis, and a high ratio of these steroids. No mutation was found in CYP11B1, but all individuals affected were homozygous for two missense mutations in CYP11B2. The first, in exon 3, codon 181, from CGC (arginine) to TGG (tryptophane) is a mutation that completely abolishes both CMO-I and II activities, whereas the second, in exon 7, codon 386, from GTG (valine) to GCG (alanine) is a more conservative substitution that produces only a minimal reduction in CMO-I activity. Individuals homozygous for either one of these mutations are asymptomatic.
