In congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency a genotype-phenotype correlation exists for paediatric cohorts, helping to predict the severity of disease expression. Data on the correlation in adults is lacking. Here we report the genetic analysis of the UK CaHASE cohort, comprising CAH adults seen at 17 endocrine tertiary care centres. CYP21A2 mutation analysis was performed in 153 patients (median age 35 (range 18–69) yrs; 103 f, 50 m) by multi...
