The Relative Prevalence of Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumors in Fewer than 20-Years-Old Boys with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia by Mohammad Hassan Moadab, Mahin Hashemipour, Masoumeh Azadi

Non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Clinical case by P.M. Liashuk, R.P. Liashuk, Yu.F. Marchuk, N.I. Stankova

“…Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease emerging from mutations of genes for enzymes that lead to the biochemical shifts in the production of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, or sex steroids from cholesterol by the adrenal glands. Universal newborn screening for CAH is recommended for early diagnosis and initiation of therapy. …”
