Abstract: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) — one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders — is potentially life-threatening in its classic (severe) form and may be asymptomatic or cause female infertility in its nonclassic (mild) form. The most common type of CAH is 21-hydroxylase deficiency1; for the remainder of this review, CAH indicates CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
