Newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia using 17-hydroxyprogesterone by immunoassay remains controversial despite screening been available for almost 40 years. Screening is confounded by poor immunoassay specificity, fetal adrenal physiology,

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia [PDF]
Congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia is a complex endocrine disorder of importance to the paediatric urologist because it produces an intersex state in the female and precocious virilisation in the male. The excessive secretion of androgens by the foetal adrenal cortex commences in early foetal life at some time after the differentiation of the ...

Stability analysis of a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis model with inclusion of glucocorticoid receptor and memory [PDF]
This paper analyzes a four-dimensional model of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis that includes the influence of the glucocorticoid receptor in the pituitary. Due to the spatial separation between the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands, distributed time delays are introduced in the mathematical model.

Auditory cortex and beyond: Deficits in congenital amusia [PDF]
Congenital amusia is a neuro-developmental disorder of music perception and production, with the observed deficits contrasting with the sophisticated music processing reported for the general population. Musical deficits within amusia have been hypothesized to arise from altered pitch processing, with impairments in pitch discrimination and, notably ...

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder of adrenal steroid biosynthesis affecting 1/10,000 to 1/15,000 live births. The most common form is 21-hydroxylase deficiency due to mutations in the CYP21A2 gene. CAH classically presents at birth with ambiguous genitalia in an affected female.

NonClassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia [PDF]
Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH) due to P450c21 (21-hydroxylase deficiency) is a common autosomal recessive disorder. This disorder is due to mutations in the CYP21A2 gene which is located at chromosome 6p21. The clinical features predominantly reflect androgen excess rather than adrenal insufficiency leading to an ascertainment bias ...
