Overview

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency must be differentiated from other diseases that cause similar clinical features, such as 5-alpha-reductase deficiency and hypogonadism.[1]

Differentiating 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency from other Diseases

17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency must be differentiated from diseases with primary amenorrhea, in female phenotype. These diseases include Pregnancy, androgen insensitivity syndrome, 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 deficiency, 17-alpha-hydroxylase deficiency, gonadal dysgenesis, testicular regression syndrome, LH receptor defects, 5-alpha-reductase type 2 deficiency, AMH receptor defect,
