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.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The incidence of congenital adrenal hyperplasia in Saudi Arabia and the frequency of the carrier rate are not well known. Both figures should be high, considering the commonness of first-degree consanguinity in this part of the world. We present 25 cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, most of them due to a defect of the 21 hydroxylase enzyme ...
