Symptoms of 21-hydroxylase deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia include:

In this form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, newborns develop severe symptoms shortly after birth due to loss of salt, which include:

Ambiguous genitalia or virilizing genitalia in girls (often appearing more male than female: deep voice, early appearance of pubic and armpit hair, and excessive hair growth and facial hair)

Symptoms of adrenal hyperplasia in children and adults may include:
