Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a genetic disorder affecting adrenal steroid enzymes, most commonly 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Neonatal screening improves outcomes, but genetic and prenatal diagnostics, alongside new therapies, are crucial for managing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder impacting adrenal steroid enzyme function.
  • The most frequent type, 21-hydroxylase deficiency, leads to cortisol and aldosterone insufficiency and androgen excess.
  • Classical CAH forms pose neonatal risks and cause virilization in females and hyperandrogenism in children/adolescents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current management strategies for CAH, including neonatal screening, genetic diagnosis, and prenatal interventions.
  • To highlight the limitations of existing therapies and the need for novel treatment approaches.
  • To discuss advancements in diagnostic techniques and the ongoing development of new therapeutic options for CAH.

  • Review of current literature on congenital adrenal hyperplasia diagnosis and management.
  • Analysis of challenges in genetic diagnosis due to CYP21A2 gene heterogeneity.
  • Discussion of prenatal diagnosis capabilities and the status of prenatal treatment.

    • Main Results:

    • Neonatal screening has reduced CAH-related neonatal morbidity and mortality.
    • Genetic diagnosis is complicated by the genetic variability in the 6p21.3 region.
    • Prenatal diagnosis is feasible early in gestation, but prenatal treatment efficacy and safety remain under investigation.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing neonatal screening assays and biomarkers can further improve CAH detection.
    • Advanced sequencing techniques are needed to overcome challenges in genetic diagnosis of CAH.
    • New therapies are essential for better androgen control and physiological cortisol replacement to mitigate long-term CAH complications.
