Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia

Fertility and Sterility, 2006
Among 297 women with nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH), premature pubarche was the most common complaint in girls (87%), and the frequency of hirsutism increased progressively with age from adolescence (50%) to adulthood (70%). The frequency of spontaneous miscarriages was high in NCAH patients (20%), but it decreased significantly after treatment.

HYPOGLYCAEMIA AND CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA

Acta Paediatrica, 1979
Abstract. We report the case history of a child with congenital adrenal hyperplasia which was complicated by recurrent hypoglycaemic episodes during common infections. There are few reports in literature on the association of hypoglycaemia and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

2019
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of seven autosomal recessively inherited disorders of various enzymes participating in adrenal steroid hormone synthesis. Patients present with various symptoms depending on the nature and severity of the enzymatic block. More than 95% of all CAH patients suffer from 21-hydroxylase deficiency. The genetic

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasias

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1991
The congenital adrenal hyperplasias (CAH) are a very common group of genetic disorders of steroid hormone synthesis. The genes encoding each of the steroid biosynthetic enzymes have now been cloned, and the mutations in these genes that cause the various forms of CAH are being determined. The emerging picture is substantially different from traditional

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Clinics in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 1985
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAB) is an inherited disorder of adrenal steroid biosynthesis. The basic defect is the deficiency of an enzyme in the pathway of cortisol production. This results in distinct biochemical and clinical features, each depending on the site of the deficient enzyme, and on the secondary effects of steroids, which are produced

Mineralocorticoids in congenital adrenal hyperplasia

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1991
While hypertension is observed in only two of the three major subtypes of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), 11 beta- and 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiencies, deoxycorticosterone (DOC) production is increased in all. The elevated zona fasciculata (ZF) DOC produces mineralocorticoid hypertension with suppressed renin and reduced potassium ...

Outcome of congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Pediatric Surgery International, 1997
In congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, affected girls are born with ambiguous genitalia due to increased secretion of androgens in utero by the defective adrenal gland. Even though it is generally accepted that there are differences between male and female brain development, determining factors have been difficult to ...

Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 2012
Late-onset or nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders. Reported prevalence ranges from 1 in 30 to 1 in 1000. Affected individuals typically present due to signs and symptoms of androgen excess.
