title: Identification of enzyme deficiencies resulting in congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
abstract: Selective screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) by blood spot 17-hydroxyprogesterone measurements is a practical option than can yield valuable clinical information and more accurate estimate of incidence. Simultaneous investigation of serum and urinary steroids allows detection of late-onset types of CAH.
