Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder of corticosteroid biosynthesis primarily caused by a deficiency in either of two heme-containing cytochrome P450-enzymes: steroid 21- or 11 beta-hydroxylase (causing approximately 90% and 5-8% of classical CAH cases, respectively). Depending on the patient's gender, the affected enzyme, and the extent of enzymatic dysfunction, symptoms...
