Abstract

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency represents a group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by impaired cortisol production due to altered upstream steroid conversions, subclassified as classic and nonclassic forms. The genotype–phenotype correlation is possible in the most frequent case but not in all. Despite in literature many mutations are known, there is the possibility of finding a new genetic pattern in patients with CAH.
