Brief summary: Steroid analysis using LC-MS/MS in association with clinical parameters may be used to develop a diagnostic score that could successfully differentiate premature pubarche (PP) from non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH), thereby obviating the need for ACTH stimulation testing.Late onset, non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) should be ruled out in children with premature pu...
