What is Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) Gene Analysis?
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is an inherited condition affecting the adrenal glands' hormone production, most commonly caused by CYP21A2 gene mutations. It's often first flagged by a newborn screening panel; this gene-level test confirms the diagnosis and identifies the exact mutation, useful for the child's ongoing care and for carrier screening in future pregnancies.
Why is Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) Gene Analysis done?
- Analyses the CYP21A2 gene, which causes most cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21-hydroxylase deficiency).
- Confirms the diagnosis after an abnormal newborn screen or a raised 17-OHP level.
- Allows carrier testing and prenatal planning in affected families.
Who may be advised to take Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) Gene Analysis?
- Babies and children whose doctor suspects CAH — for example with salt-loss episodes or ambiguous genitalia.
- Children and adults with raised 17-OHP or suspected non-classic CAH.
- Couples with a family history of CAH, or who are known carriers.

Good to know
- CYP21A2 sits beside a very similar 'pseudogene', which makes this test technically complex and best interpreted by a genetics specialist.
- CAH is recessive: when a child is affected, both parents are carriers.
