Overview
Prenatal diagnosis of 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency is advised in order to prevent complications of the disease further in life. Prenatal administration of dexamethasone, which is the drug of choice helps prevent complications.
Primary Prevention
- Prenatal diagnosis of 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency is advised in order to prevent complications of the disease further in life.
- Prenatal administration of dexamethasone, which is the drug of choice helps prevent complications.
- Testing modalities include:
- Amniotic fluid testing.
- Oligonucleotide hybridization of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which is obtained from chorionic villus biopsies. In this method, fetal DNA is extracted from maternal blood through noninvasive methods.[1]
