Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Time to Replace 17OHP with 21-Deoxycortisol
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) has a worldwide incidence of 1 in 15–20,000. Affected individuals have adrenal insufficiency and androgen excess; the androgen excess begins during fetal life ...

Pubertal presentation in seven patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to P450 Oxidoreductase deficiency [PDF]
Context: P450 oxidoreductase (POR) is a crucial electron donor to all microsomal P450 cytochrome (CYP) enzymes including 17α-hydroxylase (CYP17A1), 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) and P450 aromatase.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia [PDF]
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia associated with deficiency of steroid 21-hydroxylase is the most common inborn error in adrenal function and the most common cause of adrenal insufficiency in the pediatric age group. As patients now survive into adulthood, adult health-care providers must also be familiar with this condition. Over the past several years,
