Overview
Pre-natal diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency is established to prevent complications of the disease in future life and treated with pre-natal dexamethasone.
Primary Prevention
- Pre-natal diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in patients with positive family history is established to prevent complications in future. A positive diagnosis is treated with prenatal dexamethasone.
- The tests available for making a pre-natal diagnosis of 21-hydroxylase deficiency include:
- Amniotic fluid testing
- Oligonucleotide hybridization of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) obtained from chorionic villus sampling utilizes fetal DNA extracted from maternal blood through non-invasive methods.[1]
