What is Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)?
Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is an inherited disorder affecting the adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing vital hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. The condition is characterized by a deficiency in one of the enzymes needed for cortisol production. The most common enzyme deficiency in classical CAH is 21-hydroxylase.
