Screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) remains heterogenous across geographies-we sought to determine the proportion of non-classical CAH (NCAH) detection by one vs. two newborn screens (NBS) in two U.S.

- Infants with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have decreased epinephrine levels, which may impact their health during the first year of life.
- A study involving 36 CAH infants and 27 controls found that lower epinephrine levels are linked to a higher incidence of illnesses in these infants.
- The study suggests that measuring epinephrine and understanding genetic factors could help predict health risks, though this is not yet standard practice in clinical care.
Introduction: Youth with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have higher prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, abdominal adiposity, and hypertension. Patients with CAH also exhibit an earlier adiposity rebound (AR) compared to normative populations. However, the predictive relationship between AR and cardiometabolic risk factors needs to be better understood.
