|
| |
| The incidence of congenital adrenal hyperplasia ranges from 1:10,000 to 1:20,000 births.
| |
|
| |
| CAH is more prevalent in some ethnic groups, particularly in remote geographic regions such as Alaskan Yupiks.<ref name="pmid20823466">{{cite journal |vauthors=Speiser PW, Azziz R, Baskin LS, Ghizzoni L, Hensle TW, Merke DP, Meyer-Bahlburg HF, Miller WL, Montori VM, Oberfield SE, Ritzen M, White PC |title=Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency: an Endocrine Society clinical practice guideline |journal=J.

| The classic type affects approximately 1 in 16,000 live births.2

| NCCAH is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in humans and affects approximately 1 in 1000 individuals, but in up to 1–2% among inbred populations, such as Eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jews.<ref name="pmid9556656">{{cite journal |vauthors=Speiser PW, Dupont B, Rubinstein P, Piazza A, Kastelan A, New MI |title=High frequency of nonclassical steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency |journal=Am.

| |
| The second most common form of CAH, 11b-hydroxylase deficiency (11-OHD), occurs in 1 in 100,000 live births in the general population and accounts for approximately 5% of cases.4
| |
|
| |
| Other less common forms of CAH include 3b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 deficiency, 17a-hydroxylase deficiency that is more commonly seen in Brazil and Mennonite descendants from Dutch Friesland; congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia that is more commonly seen in the Japanese and Korean populations; side-chain cleavage (SCC) enzyme deficiency that is most commonly found in Turkey; and cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency, the only variant that can manifest with skeletal malformation
