Overview

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia was first discovered in 1865 by an Italian pathologist, Luigi De Crecchio. Explanation of hormonal aspects and molecular characteristics remained unclear until 1980. From 1980 scientists started to describe enzymes and molecular basis of 21-hydroxyase deficiency.
