GlossaryCongenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (Congenital Adrenogenital Syndrome)

genetic disorder causing adrenal gland hormone imbalances

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of genetic disorders affecting the adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. In CAH, enzyme deficiencies lead to an overproduction of androgens (male sex hormones), causing symptoms such as ambiguous genitalia in newborns, early puberty, and excessive hair growth. Treatment typically involves hormone replacement therapy to balance hormone levels.
