1 INTRODUCTION
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to a family of autosomal
recessive disorders of adrenal steroidogenesis, in which each variant is
characterized by a specific enzyme deficiency that impairs cortisol
production by the adrenal cortex. The enzyme most commonly affected is
21- hydroxylase (21-OH)1 followed by
11-beta-hydroxylase (11βOH), which accounts for 5–8% cases of CAH,
with an incidence of approximately 1:100,000.2
