Abstract excerpt
Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is characterized by decreased synthesis of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, adrenal hyperandrogenism, and impaired development and function of the adrenal medulla. Although genotype can usually predict phenotype, genotype-phenotype discordance has been described. We investigated the association between adrenomedullary function,...
