Background and objective: 21alpha-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21OHD-CAH) is the most common etiology of inherited primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) in children. Neonatal CAH screening is important for early diagnosis of salt-wasting 21OHD and other virilizing CAH (11beta-hydroxylase, 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiencies) and for avoiding mortality, especially in salt-wasting CAH. Neonatal CAH screening has become nationw...
