OVERVIEW
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of genetic conditions that adversely affect the adrenal glands, resulting in reduced cortisol synthesis and elevated androgen levels. Classic CAH is a rare, severe form of CAH occurring in approximately 1 in 16,000 births worldwide and affecting up to 30,000 people in the United States. To learn about how you can support your patients with CAH and their parents or caregivers, please join our expert faculty in this livestreamed 60-minute virtual symposium. They will discuss screening and diagnosis of CAH, challenges with current glucocorticoid treatment, and emerging CAH treatments. You will also have the opportunity to submit questions for our faculty to answer during Q&A.
