Background: Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NC-CAH) caused by mutations in CYP21B gene is an inherited disorder with various clinical forms in relation to the 21-hydroxylase (21OH) activity. Classic forms are recognized early during neonatal period as salt-wasting crisis or genital ambiguity, while non-classic form presents later with wide hyperandrogenic spectrum. Genetic testing has proved to be the definitive diagnostic method.Aim: To obser...
