PMID: 30865229.Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency was among the first genetic disorders included in newborn screening (NBS) programs worldwide, based on 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) concentrations determined in dried blood spots (1). However, the success of NBS for...
