Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase defi ciency is one of the most common autosomal recessive hereditary diseases. The lack of cortisol synthesis leads to excessive stimulation of the adrenal glands by adrenocorticotropic hormone ...

Growth Pattern of Untreated Boys with Simple Virilizing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Indicates Relative Androgen Insensitivity during the First Six Months of Life [PDF]
Context: Mild forms of simple virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) may be missed in newborn screening. In the pre-newborn-screening era, missed diagnosis of simple virilizing CAH was not infrequent in boys.

Functional consequences of seven novel mutations in the CYP11B1 Gene: four mutations associated with nonclassic and three mutations causing classic 11 -Hydroxylase Deficiency [PDF]
Context: Steroid 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) deficiency (11OHD) is the second most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Cases of nonclassic 11OHD are rare compared with the incidence of nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

Background Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) (OMIM n. 201710) is the most severe form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It is characterized by severe adrenal and gonadal steroidogenesis impairment due to a defect in the conversion of ...

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 ...

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 lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia masquerading as familial glucocorticoid deficiency [PDF]
Context: Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from resistance to the action of ACTH on the adrenal cortex.
