Neonatal Screening for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia in Turkey: A Pilot Study with 38,935 Infants.

CONCLUSION: The incidence of CAH due to classical 21-OHD is higher in Turkey in comparison to previous reports. Thus, it is suggested to add CAH to newborn screening panel in Turkey. The use of steroid profiling as a second-tier test improves the efficacy of the screening and reduces false-positives. PMID: 30111524 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
