21-hydroxylase (21-OH) deficiency accounts for the vast majority of nonclassic (NC) forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), and is associated with symptoms detectable either in childhood (precocious puberty) or sometimes only later in adulthood (hirsutism, acne, amenorrhea). While the severe

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder mainly caused by 21-hydroxylase deficit (21-OHD). Deletions or mutations of the CYP21 gene induce the impairment of glucocorticoid and mineralcorticoid synthesis. 17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) is the hormonal marker in patients, but not
