Overview
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are any of several autosomal recessive diseases resulting from mutations of genes for enzymes mediating the biochemical steps of production of cortisol from cholesterol by the adrenal glands (steroidogenesis).[1] Most of these conditions involve excessive or deficient production of sex steroids and can alter development of primary or secondary sex characteristics in some affected infants, children, or adults.[2] Congenital adrenal hyperplasia may be classified according to biochemical enzyme deficiency into commonly five subtypes: lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia, congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 11β-hydroxylase deficiency.
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Classification
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia may be classified according to biochemical enzyme deficiency into commonly the following types.
