Overview
Prenatal diagnosis for 21-hydroxylase deficiency may be used in diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Different tests which may be used are amniotic fluid testing and oligonucleotide hybridization of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) obtained from chorionic villus samples, and utilization of fetal DNA extracted from maternal blood through non-invasive methods.
