Background: 80–95% of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) cases are due to mutations in the CYP21A2 gene encoding 21 hydroxylase. The residual activity of the gene defines the clinical form. Routine mutational screening of CYP21A2 defects is shown to effectively support the complex diagnostic and treatment procedure of newborns with CAH.Objective: We aimed to characterise the phenotype of a girl with compound heterozygosity of ...
