We report on the prenatal diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase in 20 at-risk pregnancies (16 salt-wasting and 4 simple virilizing families). We have diagnosed 3 affected fetuses (2 males and 1 female), 3 healthy homozygotes (2 males and 1 female), and 14 healthy heterozy
The feasibility and accuracy of gene-specific molecular genetic diagnosis for congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency was studied in a group of 24 pregnancies at 25% risk of carrying an affected fetus. Chorionic villus sampling was performed at 9-10 weeks' gestation. Southern
