| * The disorder in the most classical form is thought to affect approximately 1 in 15-30,000 patients. Milder forms of the disease are estimated to occur in as many as 1 in 100-1000 patients. 90% of CAH is due to a complete or partial deficiency in 21-hyroxylase. 5-8% of CAH is due to deficiency in 11-hydroxylase. In rare instances, 17-alpha-hydroxylase and 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency can lead to CAH. Certain ethnic groups are thought to be at increased risk such as Yupik Eskimos and Jews of Moroccan ancestry.
