description

Patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) both with severe (classical CAH) and mild (nonclassical NCAH) forms exhibit a wide spectrum of reproductive dysfunction. In this review, only CAH cases with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHd) will be discussed, as they represent almost all of the patients in reproductive clinical settings.
