Overview

The incidence of 21-hydroxlase deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia is approximately 1 per 15,000 births.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

The incidence of 21-hydroxylase deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia detectable in childhood is approximately 1 in 15,000 births. The severe salt-wasting form accounts for the majority of these cases, which is high enough that many states and countries routinely include it in mandated newborn screening tests. The incidence of simple virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia is about 1 in 60,000 children.[1]

Prevalence

The prevalence of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylate deficiency ranges between 6.6 to 7.6 per 100,000 individuals.[2]

Race

Ashkenazi Jews, Mediterranean individuals (e.g. Greek/Italians) may have higher prevalence than other population, the prevalence will be as high as 1:3 individuals. [2]==References==
