Overview
Discovery
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia was first discovered by Dr. Luigi DeCrecchio, an Italian anatomist, in 1865 following a case report of a female patient with enlarged adrenal glands, no testes but male appearing genitals and female reproductive system internally.[1]
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency was first reported by Dr. Edward G. Biglieri, an American endocrinologist, in 1963-1966 following a case report.[2]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 1965, the detection of congenital adrenal hyperplasia by measuring the elevation of adrenal hormones in amniotic fluid.
- In 1982, International Newborn Screening Meeting recommended congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a disease which meets the criteria to be included in newborn screening systems.
- In 1989, Texas included congenital adrenal hyperplasia in its Newborn Screening Program.
