17α-Hydroxyprogesterone
An indicator of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) occurs from a deficiency of 21-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which is responsible for converting 17OHP to 11-desoxycortisol. Failure to diagnose CAH in newborns may lead to hypotension, ambiguous genitalia, acceleration of skeletal maturation, virilization, adrenal insufficiency and premature development of secondary sex characteristics. Approximately 1 in 10,000 newborns are affected.
