Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is the medical name for a group of genetic conditions that affect the adrenal glands. In people with CAH, a gene change results in a lack of one of the enzyme proteins needed to make these hormones. The two major types of congenital adrenal hyperplasia are Classic CAH, which is rarer and more serious and is usually found by tests at birth or in early infancy, and Nonclassic CAH which is milder and more common and may not be found until childhood or early adulthood. This Resource Center gives guidance and information for all CAH sufferers.
