[Prenatal molecular genetic diagnosis and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency].

Abstract excerpt

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OH), in its severe forms, produces virilization of the external genitalia of the affected female fetus. Early treatment with dexamethasone of the pregnant mother at risk of a fetus with 21-OH deficiency avoids the masculinization of the affected female fetus. We present a pregnant mother, where the prenatal diagnosis was established by DNA...
