Popis: Background: Non-classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency is usually diagnosed in post-pubertal women because of androgen excess. Indication of systematic steroid replacement therapy is controversial because the risk of acute adrenal insufficiency is unknown. In order to specify this risk we evaluated the cortisol and aldosterone secretions in response to appropriate pharmacological challenges. Methods: In this prospective case-control non-inferiority study we investigated 20 women with non-classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency carrying biallelic CYP21A2 mutations and with serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17OHP) >10ng/mL after stimulation with Synacthen® (tetracosactrin) and 20 ageand BMI-matched healthy women with 17OHP after Synacthen®
