Global Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) Overview

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive adrenal steroidogenesis disorders, with 21-hydroxylase deficiency caused by CYP21A2 mutations accounting for over 90% of cases, disrupting cortisol and aldosterone biosynthesis while redirecting steroid precursors toward androgen excess. Disease severity spans classic salt-wasting CAH presenting neonatally with adrenal crisis, hyponatraemia, hyperkalaemia, and virilisation, through simple virilising and non-classic forms manifesting with premature adrenarche, hirsutism, menstrual irregularity, and subfertility. Newborn screening via 17-hydroxyprogesterone measurement enables early diagnosis, confirmed by CYP21A2 genotyping and adrenal steroid profiling. Glucocorticoid replacement suppresses ACTH-driven androgen excess while restoring deficient cortisol; mineralocorticoid replacement with fludrocortisone addresses salt-wasting. Balancing glucocorticoid dosing remains clinically challenging, as under-replacement perpetuates androgen excess while over-replacement risks iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and growth suppression. Crinecerfont, an approved CRF1 receptor antagonist, represents a paradigm-shifting adjunctive therapy reducing androgen excess and enabling glucocorticoid dose reduction in eligible patients, while tildacerfont and other agents remain in active development. Adrenal crisis prevention through sick-day rules and emergency hydrocortisone is critical. Prognosis is favourable with adherence; endocrinological surveillance, psychological support, and multidisciplinary patient-centred care are integral to optimising lifelong outcomes.
