ABSTRACT Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a genetic disorder characterized by impaired cortisol production and consequent elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH): CAH patients often require lifelong hydrocortisone therapy. Disease severity reflects residual 21‐hydroxylase enzyme activity, crucial for cortisol synthesis.

Late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency: revision of literature and preconception genetic study of five couples [PDF]
The deficiency of the enzyme 21-hydroxylase (21-HO) is responsible for about 90% to 95% of all cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (HCSR). This disorder is one of the most frequent hereditary illnesses of autosomal recessive trait. The illness can be

Society for Endocrinology Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation of Androgen Excess in Women
ABSTRACT Context Androgen excess is common in women and refers to clinical or biochemical evidence of elevated androgenic steroids such as testosterone. It is associated with underlying polycystic ovary syndrome in the majority of cases. However severe androgen excess is less common and may indicate the presence of underlying adrenal or ovarian ...
