Wrodzony przerost nadnerczy
Epidemiologia
Wrodzony przerost nadnerczy (CAH) to grupa rzadkich, autosomalnie recesywnie dziedziczonych zaburzeń endokrynologicznych wynikających z niedoboru enzymów steroidogennych, najczęściej 21-hydroksylazy. Klasyczna postać CAH występuje z częstością około 1:15 000 do 1:20 000 urodzeń, z dominującą formą utraty soli (75%) i prostą wirylizacją (25%). Nieklasyczna postać (NCCAH) jest znacznie częstsza, z częstością około 1:1 000, a w niektórych populacjach nawet do 1:50. Diagnostyka opiera się na przesiewowym oznaczaniu 17-hydroksyprogesteronu (17-OHP) u noworodków, z zastosowaniem dwupoziomowego testu (immunologicznego i chromatografii cieczowej ze spektrometrią mas) w celu redukcji wyników fałszywie dodatnich. Progi 17-OHP oparte na wieku ciążowym wykazują wyższą swoistość niż te oparte na masie urodzeniowej. Programy przesiewowe są powszechnie wdrażane w ponad 40 krajach, choć w niektórych, jak Wielka Brytania, nie są rekomendowane ze względu na wysoką liczbę wyników fałszywych. Wczesne wykrycie i leczenie zapobiega przełomom nadnerczowym i powikłaniom rozwojowym.

Epidemiologia wrodzonego przerostu nadnerczy
Wrodzony przerost nadnerczy (Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, CAH) to grupa rzadkich, wrodzonych zaburzeń endokrynologicznych spowodowanych niedoborem enzymów steroidogennych, charakteryzujących się niewydolnością nadnerczy i różnym stopniem objawów hiper- lub hipoandrogenizmu, zależnie od typu i nasilenia choroby1. Występowanie CAH różni się w zależności od typu enzymatycznego niedoboru, grupy etnicznej oraz regionu geograficznego23.
Występowanie klasycznej postaci CAH
Klasyczna postać CAH, znana również jako ciężka postać, występuje z częstością około 1:15 000 urodzeń na całym świecie45. W krajach zachodnich częstość występowania klasycznego CAH z niedoborem 21-hydroksylazy szacuje się na 1:15 000 do 1:20 000 urodzeń6. Według danych uzyskanych z programów przesiewowych noworodków, klasyczna postać CAH dotyka 1 na 10 000 do 1 na 15 000 noworodków7.
Znaczące różnice występują w zależności od regionu geograficznego i grupy etnicznej8. W Stanach Zjednoczonych CAH jest szczególnie częsty wśród rdzennych Amerykanów i Eskimosów Yupik, gdzie częstość może wynosić nawet 1:280 urodzeń91011. Wśród białych Amerykanów częstość wynosi około 1:15 000, podczas gdy wśród Afroamerykanów jest znacznie niższa i wynosi 1:42 000 urodzeń12.
W Europie częstość występowania klasycznej postaci CAH waha się od 1:5 000 do 1:23 000 żywych urodzeń13. W Wielkiej Brytanii szacuje się, że na CAH choruje około 1 dziecko na 18 000 urodzonych1415. W Szwecji, gdzie badania przesiewowe noworodków wprowadzono w 1986 roku, częstość występowania wynosi 1:8 90016, natomiast w Norwegii szacuje się ją na 1:16 000, co odpowiada około czterem nowym przypadkom rocznie17.
W Republice Irlandii oszacowano częstość występowania CAH na 1:13 621 żywych urodzeń18, a w Ukrainie – 1:24 00019. W Korei Południowej punktowa częstość występowania CAH w 2017 roku wynosiła 1:18 745 osób2021.
Wśród pacjentów z klasyczną postacią CAH, około 75% przypadków charakteryzuje się utratą soli (salt-wasting form), podczas gdy 25% ma postać prostej wirylizacji (simple virilizing form)2223.
Występowanie nieklasycznej postaci CAH
Nieklasyczna postać CAH (NCCAH), znana również jako postać późno ujawniająca się, występuje znacznie częściej niż postać klasyczna. Częstość występowania szacuje się na około 1:1 000 w populacji ogólnej2425. W niektórych grupach etnicznych częstość ta może być znacznie wyższa, sięgając nawet 1:100 do 1:200 urodzeń2627.
NCCAH jest szczególnie rozpowszechniona w grupach o wysokim stopniu pokrewieństwa, takich jak:28
- Żydzi aszkenazyjscy
- Populacje basenu Morza Śródziemnego
- Populacje latynoskie
W tych populacjach częstość występowania może sięgać nawet 1:50 osób31. Częstość występowania NCCAH wśród kobiet z hiperandrogenizmem na całym świecie wynosi około 4,2% (95% CI: 3,2-5,4%)32.
Badanie przeprowadzone w Stanach Zjednoczonych wykazało jednak, że wcześniejsze szacunki mogły być zawyżone dla Żydów aszkenazyjskich i zaniżone dla ogólnej populacji kaukaskiej. Oszacowana częstość występowania NCCAH w populacji kaukaskiej wynosiła 1:200 (0,5%, 95% CI: 0,01-2,8)33.
Rzadkie typy CAH
Częstość występowania rzadkich typów CAH różni się w zależności od grupy etnicznej i regionu, co jest związane z efektem założyciela i wskaźnikami pokrewieństwa34. Wszystkie formy CAH dziedziczą się w sposób autosomalny recesywny, co oznacza, że obydwie płcie są dotknięte w równym stopniu35.
Lipoidowy CAH – zgłoszono ponad 250 przypadków, wynikających z ponad 120 zidentyfikowanych mutacji genu StAR. Ten typ CAH jest najbardziej rozpowszechniony w Japonii i Korei, a następnie na Bliskim Wschodzie. W Japonii i Korei ponad 70% dotkniętych alleli nosi wariant Q258X, prawdopodobnie z powodu efektu założyciela. Ogólnokrajowy raport z Japonii oszacował częstość występowania na około 2 przypadki na milion36.
Niedobór SCC – udokumentowano mniej niż 100 przypadków, przy czym najczęstszym wariantem jest R451W, zgłaszany głównie w Turcji37.
Niedobór 3-HSD-2 – zidentyfikowano globalnie, z szacowaną częstością występowania mniejszą niż 1 na 1 000 000 żywych urodzeń38.
Niedobór 11-hydroksylazy (11-OH) – częstość występowania szacuje się na 1:100 000 do 1:200 000 żywych urodzeń. Zidentyfikowano ponad 200 mutacji. W niektórych regionach Afryki Północnej i Bliskiego Wschodu odnotowano szczególnie wysokie wskaźniki występowania39. Wśród Żydów pochodzących z Maroka częstość występowania jest znacznie wyższa i wynosi 1 przypadek na 5000-7000 żywych urodzeń40.
Niedobór 17-hydroksylazy (17-OH) – częstość występowania wynosi około 1 na 50 000 żywych urodzeń, z wyższą częstością w Brazylii, prawdopodobnie z powodu mutacji założycielskich41.
Niedobór oksydoreduktazy P450 (POR) – częstość występowania i zapadalność pozostają nieznane, z nieco ponad 100 przypadkami zgłoszonymi w literaturze42.
Trendy epidemiologiczne i diagnostyczne
W niektórych regionach zaobserwowano zmiany w zapadalności na CAH. W Korei Południowej roczna zapadalność spadła w latach 2003-2017 z 3,25 do 0,41 na 100 000 osób. Średnia roczna zapadalność wynosiła 2,16 na 100 000 osób i 1 na 4 984 żywych urodzeń4344.
Badanie przeprowadzone w Wielkiej Brytanii wykazało, że rocznie około 30 dzieci w wieku powyżej 1 roku jest klinicznie diagnozowanych z CAH w populacji nieobjętej badaniami przesiewowymi. Roczne, specyficzne dla wieku ryzyko diagnozy CAH między 1 a 15 rokiem życia wynosiło 0,23 na 100 000 dzieci, w porównaniu z 5,5 na 100 000 dzieci w wieku poniżej 1 roku45.
Diagnoza u trzech czwartych dzieci była wywołana przedwczesnymi drugorzędowymi cechami płciowymi w medianie wieku 6 lat. Późna diagnoza CAH w dzieciństwie ma istotne implikacje dla zdrowia dorosłych, a wczesne wykrycie i leczenie może zapobiec niekorzystnemu postępowi klinicznemu i nieodwracalnym następstwom46.
Globalne dane chorobowości
Według analizy DelveInsight, całkowita liczba zdiagnozowanych przypadków CAH w 7 głównych rynkach (7MM: USA, Niemcy, Francja, Włochy, Hiszpania, Wielka Brytania i Japonia) w 2021 roku wynosiła ponad 73 000, z czego najwięcej przypadków odnotowano w USA. Kraje UE5 odpowiadały za około 30 000 przypadków w 2021 roku47.
Stany Zjednoczone mają największą liczbę specyficznych dla wieku przypadków CAH, wśród których w 2021 roku najwięcej obserwowano w grupie wiekowej 18+ lat (około 22 000 przypadków)48. Wśród krajów UE5, Niemcy miały najwyższą zdiagnozowaną chorobowość CAH z prawie 8 000, a następnie Francja. Z drugiej strony, Hiszpania miała najniższą zdiagnozowaną chorobowość, wynoszącą około 4 300 przypadków w 2021 roku49.
Programy przesiewowe i nadzór nad CAH
Programy przesiewowe noworodków
Programy przesiewowe noworodków (Newborn Screening, NBS) są państwowymi programami zdrowia publicznego, których celem jest identyfikacja noworodków z ryzykiem wystąpienia określonych zaburzeń w pierwszych dniach po urodzeniu, aby zapobiec trwałej niepełnosprawności lub śmierci50.
CAH zostało dodane do Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP) w USA w 2005 roku i obecnie wszystkie 53 programy NBS w USA (50 stanów, Dystrykt Kolumbii, Portoryko i Guam) prowadzą powszechne badania przesiewowe w kierunku CAH51. Jednak zanim CAH zostało dodane do RUSP, już 72% (n = 38/53) programów NBS prowadziło powszechne badania przesiewowe w kierunku tego zaburzenia52.
Badania przesiewowe noworodków w kierunku CAH są wykonywane za pomocą niewielkiej ilości krwi pobranej z pięty dziecka53. Diagnoza opiera się na podwyższonych poziomach 17-hydroksyprogesteronu (17-OHP), który jest preferowanym substratem dla steroidowej 21-hydroksylazy54.
Programy przesiewowe noworodków w kierunku CAH są obecne w ponad 40 krajach na całym świecie55, w tym w większości krajów europejskich5657. Oto kilka przykładów:
- W Szwecji badania przesiewowe noworodków w kierunku CAH wprowadzono w 1986 roku58
- W Turcji przeprowadzono rozszerzony program pilotażowy obejmujący 241 083 niemowląt59
- W południowej Brazylii przeprowadzono badanie populacyjne obejmujące 108 409 niemowląt60
- W Nowej Południowej Walii w Australii oceniono dwupoziomową ścieżkę badań przesiewowych61
Należy zauważyć, że badania przesiewowe NBS nie wykrywają łagodniejszych form CAH, takich jak postać nieklasyczna62. W Wielkiej Brytanii badania przesiewowe w kierunku CAH nie są zalecane ze względu na dużą liczbę wyników fałszywie dodatnich i fałszywie ujemnych, a niemowlęta mogą rozwinąć objawy przed otrzymaniem wyników badań63.
Znaczenie rutynowych drugich badań przesiewowych
Istnieje brak jasnego konsensusu wśród państwowych programów badań przesiewowych noworodków co do tego, czy rutynowe drugie badanie przesiewowe noworodków identyfikuje klinicznie istotne przypadki CAH64.
Badanie przeprowadzone w USA wykazało, że stany z jednym badaniem przesiewowym zgłosiły 99 przypadków CAH z 1 740 586 (1 na 17 500) przebadanych noworodków, z czego 88 (89%) zidentyfikowano w pierwszym badaniu, a 5 (5%) w ukierunkowanym drugim badaniu. Tymczasem stany z dwoma badaniami przesiewowymi zgłosiły 275 przypadków CAH z 2 629 627 (1 na 9500) przebadanych noworodków, z czego 165 (60%) zidentyfikowano w pierwszym badaniu, a 99 (36%) w drugim badaniu65.
Rutynowe drugie badanie przesiewowe noworodków jest ważne dla identyfikacji dzieci z CAH, szczególnie z prostą wirylizacją i postaciami nieklasycznymi, które w innym przypadku mogłyby nie zostać wykryte w pojedynczym badaniu66.
Dwupoziomowe badania przesiewowe
W celu poprawy dokładności badań przesiewowych w kierunku CAH, coraz częściej stosuje się podejście dwupoziomowe. W pierwszym etapie mierzy się poziom 17-OHP metodą immunologiczną, a próbki, które przekraczają wartość progową, są poddawane badaniu drugiego stopnia za pomocą panelu steroidowego z użyciem chromatografii cieczowej ze spektrometrią mas6768.
Metoda dwupoziomowa znacząco zmniejsza liczbę wyników fałszywie dodatnich. Na przykład w stanie Wisconsin w USA, po wprowadzeniu testu drugiego stopnia w 2018 roku, liczba wyników fałszywie dodatnich spadła o 93%. W pierwszych sześciu miesiącach od wdrożenia testu drugiego stopnia, 245 niemowląt miało nieprawidłowe wyniki z pierwszego stopnia badań przesiewowych w kierunku CAH. Po wykonaniu testu drugiego stopnia liczba ta spadła do 16. Ostatecznie u trzech niemowląt potwierdzono zaburzenie69.
Skuteczność programów przesiewowych
Progi 17-OHP oparte na wieku ciążowym (Gestational Age, GA) wykazały wyższą swoistość niż progi oparte na masie urodzeniowej (Birth Weight, BW) i są preferowanym podejściem do badań przesiewowych noworodków w kierunku CAH. Jednak wiek ciążowy nie jest zgłaszany dla około 5% urodzeń, często z powodu złego przypominania sobie historii menstruacyjnych, późnej prezentacji prenatalnej i/lub braku dostępu do prenatalnego USG70.
Badania wykazały, że dla noworodków z niezgłoszonym wiekiem ciążowym można zastosować modele predykcyjne do oszacowania wieku ciążowego na podstawie danych demograficznych i analitów przesiewowych. Zastosowanie przewidywanego wieku ciążowego dla noworodków z niezgłoszonym wiekiem ciążowym może poprawić swoistość badań przesiewowych pierwszego stopnia i zmniejszyć potrzebę wykonywania kolejnych testów71.
Nadzór nad pacjentami z CAH
Nadzór nad pacjentami z CAH powinien koncentrować się na kilku obszarach72:
- Kliniczne i biochemiczne monitorowanie terapii zastępczej hormonami
- Korekta hiperandrogenizmu
- Monitorowanie wzrostu i antropometrii u pacjentów pediatrycznych
- Ocena potencjalnych działań niepożądanych terapii
Towarzystwo Endokrynologiczne zaleca, aby73:
- Wszystkie programy badań przesiewowych noworodków uwzględniały badania przesiewowe w kierunku CAH, a niemowlęta z pozytywnymi wynikami badań powinny być kierowane do endokrynologów dziecięcych
- Nastolatki z CAH powinny rozpocząć przejście pod opiekę dla dorosłych kilka lat przed zakończeniem opieki endokrynologicznej pediatrycznej, aby zapewnić kontynuację opieki przez całe życie
- U pacjentów z CAH zaleca się wprowadzenie poradnictwa dotyczącego zdrowego stylu życia już we wczesnym wieku, aby utrzymać wskaźnik masy ciała w normalnym zakresie i uniknąć zespołu metabolicznego i związanych z nim następstw
Ścisłe monitorowanie kliniczne wzrostu i rozwoju jest niezbędne do optymalizacji wyników leczenia74. Badania wykazały, że niemowlęta z ciężką, powodującą utratę soli postacią CAH mogą rozwinąć przełom nadnerczowy zanim zostaną zdiagnozowane, jeśli nie są objęte badaniami przesiewowymi. Identyfikując niemowlęta zagrożone przełomem nadnerczowym przed jego wystąpieniem, badania przesiewowe zmniejszają chorobowość i śmiertelność, szczególnie wśród dotkniętych chłopców75.
Mediana czasu od urodzenia do interwencji przez odpowiedniego świadczeniodawcę medycznego w przypadkach CAH (N = 233) wyniosła 6 dni, a mediana czasu od urodzenia do potwierdzenia diagnozy (N = 243) wyniosła 10 dni76.
Obciążenie i implikacje ekonomiczne CAH
CAH jest złożoną i wyniszczającą chorobą, która wiąże się ze znacznym obciążeniem humanistycznym, opiekuńczym i ekonomicznym zarówno u dzieci/nastolatków, jak i dorosłych pacjentów z CAH77.
Obciążenie zdrowotne
W porównaniu z populacją ogólną, pacjenci z CAH (niezależnie od wieku) są znacząco niżsi i doświadczają złego stanu kości, zwiększonej częstości występowania zdarzeń kardiometabolicznych (w tym otyłości, nadciśnienia i insulinooporności), są narażeni na ryzyko rozwoju przełomów nadnerczowych (które przyczyniają się do zwiększonej śmiertelności), a w przypadku CAH u nastolatków/dorosłych – mają obniżoną płodność zarówno u mężczyzn, jak i kobiet (u nastolatków często występuje przedwczesne dojrzewanie)78.
Zarówno nastoletni, jak i dorośli pacjenci z CAH są również narażeni na ryzyko rozwoju problemów ze zdrowiem psychospołecznym w porównaniu z populacją ogólną, przy czym dorośli pacjenci doświadczają traumy emocjonalnej związanej z ich stanem i w konsekwencji mają trudności z mówieniem o swojej chorobie79.
CAH wiąże się również ze znacznym obciążeniem opiekunów; rodzice dzieci/nastolatków z CAH zgłaszają wysoki poziom lęku, depresji i zmartwień o swoich bliskich80.
Obciążenie ekonomiczne
CAH wiąże się z zauważalnym obciążeniem ekonomicznym, ze znacznie wyższymi rocznymi kosztami opieki zdrowotnej w porównaniu do dopasowanych grup kontrolnych (P=0,007 dla pacjentów w wieku 18-40 lat; P<0,001 dla pacjentów w wieku ≥40 lat)81.
Według analizy DelveInsight, całkowita wielkość rynku CAH wynosiła około 21 milionów USD w 7MM w 2021 roku82.
Leczenie CAH stanowi znaczne obciążenie ekonomiczne i zakłóca ogólne samopoczucie pacjentów i jakość życia. Ponadto, wzrost rynku CAH może być ograniczony przez niepowodzenia i zaprzestanie stosowania nowych terapii, nieosiągalne ceny, problemy z dostępem do rynku i refundacją oraz niedobór specjalistów opieki zdrowotnej83.
Przyszłe trendy i wyzwania
W nadchodzących latach rynek CAH ma się zmienić ze względu na rosnącą świadomość choroby i zwiększające się wydatki na opiekę zdrowotną na całym świecie, co może zwiększyć wielkość rynku i umożliwić producentom leków większą penetrację rynku84.
W krajach rozwiniętych na całym świecie z powodzeniem wdrożono programy badań przesiewowych prenatalnych i noworodków w kierunku CAH, ułatwiając wczesne wykrywanie i leczenie u dzieci85.
Trwające badania i próby terapeutyczne badające nowe cząsteczki, takie jak selektywne inhibitory receptora typu 1 czynnika uwalniającego kortykotropinę, terapia genowa i inhibitory ACAT-1, przynoszą obiecujące wyniki86.
Badana jest nowa podejście do terapii o przedłużonym działaniu, aby rozwiązać problem długotrwałych skutków ubocznych, powikłań i niewydolności rytmu dobowego związanych z glikokortykoidami i mineralokortykoidami87.
Chociaż obecne leczenie jest skierowane głównie do pacjentów z niedoborem 21-hydroksylazy, potencjalne badania nad nietypowymi wariantami CAH mogą w przyszłości otworzyć możliwości leczenia rzadkich typów88.
Konwencjonalne biomarkery zmieniają się w zależności od dawki glikokortykoidów lub pory dnia i nie są specyficzne dla nadnerczy, co wskazuje na potrzebę nowych biomarkerów, takich jak biologicznie aktywne 11-utlenione androgeny, które są podwyższone w CAH. Substytucja glikokortykoidów zgodnie z rytmem dobowym i dodatkowe terapie nieglikokortykoidowe obiecują umożliwienie zmniejszenia dawki glikokortykoidów; ponadto trwają prace nad rozwojem spersonalizowanych terapii genowych i komórkowych89.
Jednak diagnoza nieklasycznej postaci CAH może nie nastąpić dopóki osoba nie zacznie wykazywać objawów w późniejszych etapach życia90. CAH może być błędnie diagnozowane jako inne choroby, takie jak choroba Addisona, zaburzenia owotestikularne i zespół Turnera. Ponadto, terapia genowa, choć obiecująca, jest kosztowna; co więcej, system opieki zdrowotnej w większości krajów, w tym w USA, nie jest przygotowany na duże jednorazowe płatności91.
W porównaniu do małych cząsteczek, terapie genowe wymagają dłuższego czasu do zatwierdzenia, a wytyczne dotyczące zatwierdzania terapii genowych nie są tak dobrze zdefiniowane jak te dla małych cząsteczek lub przeciwciał monoklonalnych92.

CAH is more prevalent among Native Americans and Yupik people in the United States. Among Whites, the incidence is approximately 1 in 15,000 individuals. The global incidence of classic 21-OH deficient CAH is estimated to be 1 in 15,000 to 20,000 births in Western countries. Approximately 75% of the affected infants present with the salt-wasting form, whereas 25% have the simple virilizing form. The nonclassic form of CAH has a prevalence of approximately 1 in 1000 in the general population but may occur as frequently as 1 in 100 to 200 in certain ethnic groups. […] The prevalence of rare CAH types varies by ethnicity and region, influenced by the founder effect and consanguinity rates. As all forms of CAH follow an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, both sexes are equally affected. Over 250 cases of lipoid CAH, resulting from more than 120 identified StAR mutations, have been reported. This type of CAH is most prevalent in Japan and Korea, followed by the Middle East. In Japan and Korea, over 70% of affected alleles carry the Q258X variant, likely due to the founder effect. A nationwide report from Japan estimated the prevalence to be approximately 2 per million.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) owing to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is a common disorder, and is characterised by a defect in cortisol biosynthesis with or without a defect in aldosterone synthesis and androgen excess. The classic form, also known as the severe form, occurs in 1:15,000 births worldwide, while the nonclassic or mild form occurs in approximately 1:1,000 births worldwide and is much more common (up to 1:20) in certain ethnic groups. […] Close clinical monitoring of growth and development is essential to optimise treatment outcome.

How common is congenital adrenal hyperplasia?(epidemiology) The most common form is 21-OHD, accounting for more than 90% of all cases. According to newborn screening data, classic 21-OHD affects 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 15,000. […] A study found that approximately 1 child in every 18,000 born in Great Britain has CAH. Similar numbers of boys and girls present clinically in the first year of life but boys present with more severe manifestations, such as salt-wasting crises. Salt-losing CAH accounts for about three quarters of cases reported and non-salt-losing CAH (NCAH) or one quarter. […] The worldwide prevalence of NCAH among hyperandrogenic women was 4.2% (95% confidence interval: 3.2-5.4%) and is more frequent in groups with high consanguinity, such as the Ashkenazi Jewish population. […] Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is the most common autosomal recessive disease in the world, surpassing both cystic fibrosis and phenylketonuria.

The incidence varies ethnically. In the United States, congenital adrenal hyperplasia in its classic form is particularly common in Native Americans and Yupik Inuit (incidence 1280). Among American Caucasians, the incidence of the classic form is about 115,000). […] Continued treatment and wellness are enhanced by education and follow up.
- #9 Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Practice Essentials, Background, Pathophysiologyhttps://emedicine.medscape.com/article/919218-overview
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs among people of all races. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia secondary to CYP21A1 mutations and deletions is particularly common among the Yupik Eskimos. […] Because all forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia are autosomal recessive disorders, both sexes are affected with equal frequency. However, because accumulated precursor hormones or associated impaired testosterone synthesis impacts sexual differentiation, the phenotypic consequences of mutations or deletions of a particular gene differ between the sexes. […] Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is generally recognized at birth or in early childhood because of ambiguous genitalia, salt wasting, or early virilization. Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia is generally recognized at or after puberty because of oligomenorrhea or virilizing signs in females.
- #10 Newborn screening information for congenital adrenal hyperplasia | Baby’s First Test | Newborn Screening | Baby Healthhttps://www.babysfirsttest.org/newborn-screening/conditions/congenital-adrenal-hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a collection of inherited conditions that affect the body’s adrenal glands, which are the cone-shaped organs that sit on top of the kidneys. In the United States, about one in every 15,000 babies is born with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The condition may be more or less common in certain ethnic groups and geographic regions. For example, one out of 300 babies in the Yupik Eskimo population is born with CAH. The condition is less common in people of African-American and Asian descent. […] Follow-up testing must be completed as soon as possible to determine whether or not your baby has the condition. […] If congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is treated soon after birth, children can have healthy growth and development. This is why newborn screening is so important.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a common genetic disorder in endocrinology, especially its milder clinical presentation, often caused by a partial or total deficiency of the 21-hydroxylase enzyme located in the adrenal cortex. […] Although its incidence depends on ethnic (inbred) and geographic factors, classic CAH (caused by D21OH) is a rare disease with a prevalence that ranges from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 16,000 cases. In contrast, non-classic CAH (NCCAH; also called late-onset CAH) has a much higher frequency (up to 1/500); NCCAH is also common within ethnic groups with high consanguinity, such as âAshkenaziâ Jews. Worldwide, CAH (including mild cases) is considered the most common autosomal recessive disease, surpassing cystic fibrosis and phenylketonuria. […] The initial diagnosis of CAH is commonly based on plasma 17OHP levels. Enzymatic deficiency in these individuals leads to the accumulation of this steroid hormone in direct proportion to the severity of the defect. Early detection and treatment of 21OHD-related CAH can prevent serious morbidity and mortality; therefore, all newborn screening programs should incorporate these tests.

- #67 Predicting gestational age improves newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia: a retrospective cohort study – Jomaa – Journal of Laboratory and Precision Medicinehttps://jlpm.amegroups.org/article/view/6410/html
Newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is increasingly performed using a two-tiered approach; 17-hydroxyprogesterone by immunoassay followed by steroid panel by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The first tier uses gestational age (GA)-based 17-hydroxyprogesterone screening thresholds. GA is unreported in approximately 5% of births and, in these cases, birth weight (BW)-based screening thresholds are used. However, BW based thresholds have a lower specificity, resulting in more first tier false positives. By combining newborn demographics and the screening analytes measured in the newborn blood spot screen, a predictive model can be used to estimate GA. In this study, GA was predicted in newborns with an unreported GA. Newborns underwent subsequent GA-based screening to determine whether this method results in a higher positive predictive value (PPV) than current BW-based screening methods.
- #68 Predicting gestational age improves newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia: a retrospective cohort study – Jomaa – Journal of Laboratory and Precision Medicinehttps://jlpm.amegroups.org/article/view/6410/html
CAH is diagnosed in 1 in 15,000-20,000 newborns and the majority of cases (90%) are caused by mutations to the CYP21A2 gene encoding 21-hydroxylase (21-OH). In Ontario, Canada, almost all children undergo newborn screening for inborn diseases to intervene in the disease course early and prevent long-term consequences. A blood sample is obtained from the heel of newborns 24-72 hours after birth and analyte levels are measured to detect underlying metabolic and endocrine disorders. These results are combined with key demographic information from the newborn, including gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW), to screen for over 25 disorders. The primary target of CAH screening is to identify newborns with the classic salt-wasting and simple virilizing forms of the disease. […] In Newborn Screening Ontario, CAH screening follows a two-tier approach. In first-tier screening, 17-OHP levels are compared to a threshold value. Samples that exceed this threshold undergo second-tier screening via a steroid panel by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, and the final screen positive population is referred for diagnostic evaluation. First and second tier screening results are available within 48 hours of sample receipt. The positive predictive value (PPV) of first-tier screening is 56% and reduces the number of samples that require further screening. The PPV of second-tier screening is subsequently 67%.

According to Held, in the first six months since the 2nd tier test was implemented, 245 babies had abnormal results from the 1st tier CAH screen. After the 2nd tier test was performed, that number dropped to 16. Ultimately, three babies were confirmed to have the disorder. The 2nd tier test reduced the false positive rate by 93%. […] Implementing the 2nd tier test means our lab staff only had to contact 16 babies doctors about abnormal test results rather than 245, Held said.
- #70 Predicting gestational age improves newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia: a retrospective cohort study – Jomaa – Journal of Laboratory and Precision Medicinehttps://jlpm.amegroups.org/article/view/6410/html
GA-based 17-OHP thresholds have been shown to have a higher specificity than BW-based 17-OHP thresholds and are the preferred approach for newborn screening for CAH. However, GA is unreported for approximately 5% of births, often due to poor recall of menstrual histories, late prenatal presentation, and/or inability to access prenatal ultrasound. For these newborns, no screening approaches have been described apart from BW-based screening. As a result, a surplus of false positive samples undergo resource-intensive second-tier testing and contribute to the final screen positive population that has to undergo diagnostic testing. […] This study presents a strategy for further reducing the false positive rate of first-tier CAH screening while continuing to identify all true positive cases. Compared to BW, GA has been shown to more accurately predict 17-OHP levels because of its closer association with adrenal gland development. The implementation of GA-based 17-OHP thresholds has increased the PPV of first-tier CAH screening; however, high rates of false positive screening results still persist.
- #71 Predicting gestational age improves newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia: a retrospective cohort study – Jomaa – Journal of Laboratory and Precision Medicinehttps://jlpm.amegroups.org/article/view/6410/html
This is the first study to propose a novel approach to CAH screening for newborns with unreported GA who would otherwise undergo BW-based screening. Here, the PPV of screening for this sub-population was increased from 1.52% (130 false positives) with BW-based screening to 1.89% (104 false positives) with sequential screening. A limitation of this study was the small number of newborns with CAH and unreported GA who could be included in the sub-population analysis. However, all newborns with CAH received a positive screening result when performing PGA-based screening, suggesting that this limitation is not a barrier to the study conclusions. Thus, application of a PGA for newborns with unreported GA is one step that can be taken to improve the specificity of first-tier screening and reduce the need for subsequent tests.

[…] By identifying babies with severe, salt-wasting CAH before they develop adrenal crises, screening reduces morbidity and mortality, especially among affected boys. […] Diagnosis is based on elevated levels of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), the preferred substrate for steroid 21-hydroxylase. […] NewSTEPs, a program of the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL), is the national NBS resource center designed to provide data, technical assistance and training to US NBS programs and assist them with quality improvement initiatives.

NewSTEPs maintains a centralized and secure data repository that is designed to collect comprehensive data on NBS programs. […] NewSTEPs collects individual-level confirmed case data, as well as aggregate counts of confirmed cases by NBS programs. […] NewSTEPs defines intervention by an appropriate medical provider as the date of the clinic visit or hospital consultation to evaluate the potential diagnosis of CAH. […] The median time from birth to intervention by an appropriate medical provider for CAH cases (N = 233) was 6 days. […] The median time from birth to confirmation of diagnosis of CAH cases (N = 243) was 10 days. […] The analysis of the CAH case data submitted by 13 NBS programs for all three years shows that the median time interval of birth to the confirmation of diagnosis was the same compared to that of all CAH cases entered.

Both adolescent and adult patients with CAH were also at risk of developing psychosocial health issues compared to the general population, with adult patients experiencing emotional trauma related to their condition and subsequently finding it difficult to speak about their illness. […] Although the literature was sparse, it did indicate that CAH is associated with a substantial caregiver burden; parents of children/adolescents with CAH reported high levels of anxiety, depression and worry for their loved one. […] Furthermore, CAH was also associated with a notable economic burden, with significantly higher annual healthcare costs compared to matched controls (P=0.007 for patients aged 18-40 years; P<0.001 for patients aged â¥40 years). [...] Our review highlights that CAH is a complex and debilitating disease which is associated with significant humanistic, caregiver and economic burden in both child/adolescent and adult CAH patients.

Objectives: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a rare condition caused by enzyme deficiency in cortisol biosynthesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the burden of illness associated with child/adolescent and adult CAH. […] The evidence presented here focusses on the humanistic, caregiver and economic burden of child/adolescent and adult CAH. […] Compared to the general population, patients with CAH (irrespective of age) were found to be significantly shorter and experienced poor bone health, increased occurrences of cardiometabolic events (including obesity, hypertension and insulin resistance), were at risk of developing adrenal crises (which contributed to excess mortality), and in adolescent/adult CAH, had impaired male and female fertility (with adolescents commonly experiencing precocious puberty).
